Re: To laugh or to cry... the story of Ronin...
I kind of like the green pot. The colour is very well suited to this species. Just my opinion though.
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.

What species of fig is this (and hoping that I haven't missed it if it is included above).
Nice work and a great decision to keep it low and compact. Great proportions.

Thanks Boics and Nate,
It's a PJF
Kvan64, yeah... not sure with this tree. I like the little ribs on this pot, kinda matching Ronin's character as a wandering Samurai.

Nice pot 
A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.

Re: To laugh or to cry... the story of Ronin...
Excellent story - top thread.
After a rocky start.... I think Ronin is happy (and has indeed improved) under your guidance.
Well done [THUMBS UP SIGN].

Tending bonsai teaches me patience.
