Juniper, first style.

I welcome respected members of the forum.
In April, acquired the juniper, cleaned the frame, and there's such krivulya like a fish skeleton. The first photo of the alleged front. The left tip almost touches the ground. I do not want to form a cascade. Perhaps it will be ikadabuki.

Wellcome to the IBC!
If you do not like a cascading tree, have you considered changing the planting angle?
I think that raft style (ikadabuki) will take more time. But you can make it with patience if it pleases you.
However, the "arch" is too obtrusive in my personal opinion. There is not any surface of the trunk touching the ground and it might look unnatural...

Thanks for the feedback. "Arch" is really very striking, and the other angle of landing I can not see... There is another option to shorten the barrel like this. Maybe this is the best option?
