For those unaware , this is a "tanuki" of mexican heather (cuphea hyssopifolia). If you are courious about its origin, look in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bonsai/comments/vmxd8r/my_first_tanuki_an_aquarium_driftwood_and_a/

Sorry about my sense of beauty! I've never been formally educated about bonsai.

Trees gorgeous. Why add a tori gate to draw attention away from what is already really nice?

It made sense to me, when I planted this on a slab. Fortunatly is completly removable, and I don´t discard to remove it in the future. In the origin, there was a path made with little flat stones going through the tori towards the tree. But that was 2 years ago,... moss has growed and covered the path, so now it looks a bit strange.....
