Jin
From BonsaiWIKI
Jin (pronounced JEEN) is a Japanese term referring to the snags of deadwood that may appears on the ends of branches or at the apex of a bonsai.
Jin is most commonly seen on conifers like pine, cedar, juniper and yew. Most broadleaf trees have wood that is too soft to produce deadwood with any longevity. One exception is the Japanese Flowering Apricot or "ume".
NOTE: Like the word "sheep", the plural of Jin is still Jin. Terms like Jins and Sharis are incorrect.
