Maybe just do a repot at the moment to get it's health and vigour up. And if you can take a series of photos straight on about level with the pot turning the pot 1/8 turn each time it is easier for us to see the details of the tree and provide more specific styling advice.
Totally on board with that.
Couple a weeks and i'll be re-potting all my black pines, it'll be interesting to scratch back all that moss and see what the base looks like. I'm in no rush, I know haste makes waste.
