First Bonsai from a local artist/nursery

Got this for $1k yesterday from a local artist. After doing lots of research on the hobby and finding a nice spot outside for a potential tree. I was about to order a what I thought was a nice tree from Brussels online for $500 which they marked as a “specimen” a friend in the hobby who on bonsai trained in Japan said wait before you order online and sent me a friend of his locally. I spotted this in his collection it’s a 35-40 year old imported Root over Rock Trident Maple in a signed Japan pot. It was trained by Bjorn Bornholm. He originally wanted $1.2k but we agreed on $1k instead and he gave me a brand new pair of Japanese pruners, taught me how to care for it and how to prune it.
