A product image of Tinyroots Japanese Choji Oil, a rust prevention solution specifically designed for the maintenance of bonsai tools. The image features the product's packaging: a rectangular cardboard box and a clear 1 fluid ounce (30ml) glass bottle equipped with a black rubber-topped glass dropper. The packaging design is split horizontally into two sections. The top half is white, decorated with an elegant pattern of red and white cherry blossoms (sakura) and subtle grey geometric shapes. The brand name "Tinyroots" is printed vertically in black, alongside a small red square containing the Japanese kanji for oil (油). The bottom half of both the box and the bottle label is solid black with bold white lettering. The text on the front of the box reads "CHOJI OIL," "RUST PREVENTION SOLUTION," and "1 FL.OZ (30ML)." The side of the box lists key product benefits such as "EASY TO USE DISPENSER," "PROTECTS & PRESERVES TOOLS," and "PREVENTS OXIDATION & RUST." It also notes that this is part of a "3-PIECE KIT" including Choji oil, a rust eraser, and a lint-free cloth. Small icons indicate the product is "READY TO USE!" and comes with a "100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED" seal. The glass bottle's label mirrors this design, with a large, faint grey kanji character for oil in the background of the black section.

Bonsai Tools - Kaneshin Jin Pliers (No. 49)

These pliers are about 9" in length. An ideal size for applying strength onto the wires or branches for styling or for twisting bonsai tree anchor wire. Jin Pliers are awesome.

They are used to carefully remove or peal back bark for the purpose of drying out the under-lying wood. The resulting “jin” is used to give the illusion of age. They're also a great tool used to twist wire when anchoring bonsai trees into the pot. 

This technique is used to produce the general aesthetic of weathering, fire damage and age. Jin can also be used to hide unsightly defects in the wood (rather than trying to cover up a blemish, the artist embraces it).

With a long nose and gripping mouth, Jin pliers are perfect to give that rough and weathered look. 

They’re also perfect for related Bonsai tasks such as wiring, gripping, twisting and squeezing.

We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.

Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.

Bonsai Outlet is a licensed nursery, not just a warehouse. We follow the proper inspection and certification requirements for shipping live plants across state lines. When a state requires additional documentation, such as a nematode certificate or nursery inspection certificate, we work to ensure the proper requirements are met before shipping.
