SO I couldn?t resist and ordered me another Itoigawa juniper.
And based on a pic from supplier I made a virtual as what I want to do with it.
It seems it has enough foliage in the right places, so let?s see how close to it I can get.

Not going to argue your styling; You have a good eye. But do you think this is the best tree you can make out of this?

I will not go into discussion about what is The best option. The best when it comes to design is a philosophical question and depends a lot on personal taste, experience and culture.

I would keep it upright.

Cheers for the comments lads.
As you might have seen a while ago I styled 3 itoigawas and they were all upright.
I want to do something different with this one :)
I know it would make a nice slanted or other style tree too, it has a nice curvy trunk so there are many options.
But semi cascade with such a nice movement of the trunk would please me the most as I do not have any like that yet :)

Cool. Concious choice to go semi cascade then. My question was truely rooted in the trap avoidence "A cascade is always an option" ;)

I would change the angle to the opposite side and make a semi-cascade

if you tilt it to the right like you mentioned i personally think the bend on the trunk that moves to the right looks unpleasing, not to natural. with the way mimo wants to style it i think would be the best option as the bends flow alot more.

I would agree... for what it's worth... to me the trunk goes into too many opposing directions if you tip it to the right.... for such a small plant that really doesn't work for me. beyond that... tilting it left seems to deal with the two branches coming out of nearly the sam place better.
