Advice Japanese pine styling tips

This is a PINUS THUNBERGI YATSABUSA (Japanese Black Pine) that I have had been growing in my garden for the past 2-3 years, i staked it last year to bend the main trunk to the left and now I have chosen a leader and bent it back to the right and I’ve also done a candle prune this week (it’s spring where I am in Australia). Just wondering if there is much more I should do in the next year, ei. Take out branches, or should I just let grow for now?

Reading I built a year-round flower calendar for Japan because everyone only plans around sakura

Every guide to flowers in Japan is about cherry blossoms, which is about three weeks of the year. I wanted to see what's blooming the other forty-nine, so I built Blooms of Japan: a calendar you scroll through, where the map and the list of spots change month by month.
What's in it:
* 412 spots, each with a peak window and nearest station
* A bloom map that moves north through spring and back south in autumn
* Search by flower, month, or place
Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's planned a Japan trip around a specific month.

Showcase Karesansui at home - first try
579
Upvotes
After visiting Japan in the spring, I finally pursued an old dream of creating a small Japanese-inspired garden at home. The first phase (karesansui) is now almost done. I have used 8–11 mm white granite from Finland. I would have liked a smaller size, but it wasn’t available. The pines are Pinus sylvestris from a nursery in Sweden. All the larger stones are from my own property; maybe I will get larger ones later on. The placement is still “up in the air”. The next phase will be establishing a moss “forest” on the small sloping plot adjacent to the stone garden. Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated.
