Was the Japanese garden in "Zen style" or "tea ceremony style". This is crucial to determine if the pine is ready to be minimized.

Also, i have checked out lot of sites and forum topics about mugo and i thought i can repot the tree next year in june or july to a smaller and wider pot with minimal rootpruning and adding bonsai soil . And then think about any shaping the tree.
And next year, maybe the year over, do the wiring or pruning.

Would you believe us if we all tell you the same thing?

Good luck.

That's what roots do - they grow all directions. Have you ever had someone explaining that the roots growing upwards is the sign that the tree needs to be repotted and roots pruned?
