I want to say that this is an easy one - a dead branch that is kept as a feature - either carved or not. But like most things with bonsai, the translation is probably a lot more simple than the original Japanese!
ANSWER: Jin refers to deadwood that is specifically related to branches. Deadwood is created to tell the story of the trees struggle to survive in less then ideal conditions, the story of rocks falling from above in mountainous regions and to give the tree that extra appearance of age.
I like your channel and bonsai related material, but these short click-bait-and-direct to comment section clips to generate interaction for CZcams algorithms - not a fan. At least put some answer at the end of the clip to make these worthwhile...
That would be a deadwood branch or part of a branch (as opposed to a shari, which is trunk deadwood).
Excellent answer
A branch turned into a dead wood feature. Ten jin if the old apex dies and all is kept on the tree 😊
Top marks
A dead branch that gives the old tree character.
Exactly! Good work.

Is Jin any deadwood, or specifically a dead branch? Would the deadwood in the trunk of a juniper be considered jin
Jin is specifically branch deadwood, a Shari is what we call deadwood on a trunk.
