What happened to the old pot ? Too big for roots I guess?Repotted.
I don’t love the pot choice, but I didn’t have anything else in that size. Oh well, now I can be on the lookout for something that will work better.

It’s probably hard to tell, but the old pot was huge. Probably twice the size.What happened to the old pot ? Too big for roots I guess?
That’s important as well haha easy mobility and too big of a pot .. looking good !It’s probably hard to tell, but the old pot was huge. Probably twice the size.
The current pot is a great size (actually a touch too deep), just not the color or shape I’d like to see.
The old pot was also super heavy. I can actually move the tree around now without breaking my back!
Repotted the hinoki yesterday. Was still digging out dirt/soil from 5 years ago.
It was a rather aggressive repot, fingers crossed it responds well.
I keep this particular picture in my "bonsai design" file because it is so striking. I wonder if the pot is a special pot that has a recessed area in the middle to allow a little more soil depth. Otherwise I think it might err on the side of being TOO shallow. But I still like itI agree with @Bonsai Nut
It would look better in a more shallow pot
BUT only if the root mass can be spread that thin. It's something you can work towards over time.
I would kill that tree if it was in my collection, no doubt .I keep this particular picture in my "bonsai design" file because it is so striking.
