Just spotted this tree on in Jonas Dupuich's Bonsai Tonight's online album and had to share.
This is from the sales area at the 2011 ASPAC convention in Japan

Re: Japanese Shohin/Chuhin Trident
A very, very nice little trident. Something to aim for. One thing i did notice was the ramification of the tree was certainly there but ,..untidy. There were some that were a little un- uniform. Maybe this is what happens when secondary's and tertiary's start to get that dense. I know from my little experience that when you are pruning a ramified tree you start to lose your bearings on where you were. Not being picky..just observing.

As it is in the sales area at ASPAC, I think the "untidiness" one can see is due to full trees selling far better than a barer tree. IMO
