It's not that often you see such a small Bunjin style bonsai (calling this a bunjin is probably a stretch, as it lacks that extra character that only time and rough conditions can bring*). But then, there aren't that many artists with a feel for small bonsai quite like Haruyosi. I cropped this photo to emphasize just the tree. The uncropped version is below
It has been a while since we visited Harayosi, one our favorites. Especially when it comes to small bonsai. Almost all of his trees are mame (lit. bean) and many, if not most, are junipers

Three baby bunjin-ish junipers
The same three before trimming
This one is less bunjin-ish, but it tends a little in that direction
A extra treat. Haruyosi is also a master potter
*Rather than trying to explain bunjin, we’ll point you to the comments in this Bark post from 2015
