Good people of the GardenWeb community I could use your collective expertise with identifying a shrub if you would be so kind.

My brother would like to plant these same shrubs for screening privacy (same use as these pictured) and he has tasked me with tracking the name of these beautiful shrubs. So far google and other searches have come up mostly fruitless as the closest looking shrubs were the
Hetzi Columnar Juniper or possibly Skyrocket Juniper. Neither of those seem to have the same needle pattern (fan-like). Any assistance with this is apprecaited.

'Sekkan' is a yellow form, not green.
It could be the straight species that has been sheared on a regular basis.
Here's a couple of my 'Sekkans'.

Cryptomeria j., 'Sekkan '

I think it's a cultivar with better coloring and density than typical.
