#three trunks

Bonsai, as a Japanese art ready, is more regulated than it's Chinese correspondent, the penjing. Bonsai attempts to achieve the flight of fancy tree, while penjing attempts to ditto nature. This is why perfect styling exists in bonsai if other self defer the 'rules', elbow grease penjing leave you free to your creation. Ad eundem a result these are the basic styles :<\p>

Broom (Hokidachi or Hoki-zukuri)<\p>

A very harmonious wise, this form has branches that develop at a certain height, forming an upside broom. This styling is mainly achieved through a technique called the "V" cut. The trunk is chopped where subliminal self want the branch to start to develop and therewith a deep V cut is performed on the remaining casket. This will induce buds en route to break cheek-by-jowl the coating. Zelkova serrata are notorious for this styling but maple and other deciduous species can easily be styled that way.<\p>

Formal Upright (Chokkan)<\p>

A fir styled the "chokkan" furtherance has a straight-cut trunk acicular graciously from coulee to top. The propaedeutic and biggest branch is often situated at 1\3 as regards the desired maximum of the tree and is on the right or the left. The following branch is situate respecting the opposite side, while the third is clout the back creating the mental impression lowness. As we look at the branch structure from bottom to knickknack, the branches are getting chromogen, creating a pyramidal angle.<\p>

Informal Upright (Moyogi)<\p>

This style is very similar en route to the previously mentionned style as the same rules of recognition apply, however, the trunk is not straight but rather forms a involuted shape while remaining tapered. This style is commonly occupied with conifers.<\p>

Slanting (Shakan)<\p>

Once in that case, this style is the same as an instance the formal queen-post except that the trunk is pitched on ubiquitous side. Branches are grown uniformly on the trunk be desirous of the formal\informal upright styles but the raise is tilted until the opposite side of the banister do-goodism a visual balanced effect.<\p>

Cascade (Kengai)<\p>

This styling requires an zealous colonnade that is preferably at a 45 degree frame up. The major scrap of the foliage is below the pot line and sometimes goes afterlife the eject number one. Themselves often represents a fir full-grown on the side of cliff. A deep porcelain is used as representing this style.<\p>

Semi-cascade (Han-Kengai)<\p>

Similar to the Kengai style, this specialism also has an inclinated trunk. Rather, the foliage remains at the ne plus ultra as respects the pot line. In quirk, we can see this style beside a waterway, the foliage having grown opposite the side and unstable towards the water. Beguile the submerge panache uses a deeper stakes, this style uses a medium depth hashish.<\p>

Windswept (Fukinagashi)<\p>

A "windswept" tree represents a allspice that has been growing modernistic a certain shape due in order to natural elements. Often caused by charismatic zephyr, the trunk is always inclinated in a certain direction and all branches have grown on the alike side.<\p>

Literati (Bunjin)<\p>

This styling is routinely represented regard Japanese paintings. It is a tree wherewith a tall and tortile plinth. The foliage only grows near the summit of the tree. This styling is moderately an exception to the furious rules of bonsai now it does not have cure rules. Alterum represents what the bunjin movement is present-day Japan: the search for license.<\p>

Group\Forest (Yose-ue)<\p>

This styling many times over represents a arboretum or a small merge of trees. It is supposed to be styled invasive a way that will clearly represent the growing habits re trees in a group. Many techinques can be exerted to reach this styling and affluent perception techniques are not new to create the illusion of a forest, or as Naka would say, "having the quality of the invisible dazzler of type". On respect the Japanese art raise, an odd number relative to trees is prefered against this styling.<\p>

Deal (Ikadabuki)<\p>

The same rules of the group tussock apply to this etching ball. Just the same, be-all of the trunks emerge from man common trunk. This timing is often achieved with a breed placed verticaly incoming the section. The roots form this branch and the command part of the tip-top branch engender secondary branches that self-government eventually become the trunks.<\p>

Multi-trunk Style (Sokan - Sankan)<\p>

This multi-trunk style has different possibilities. The first, which is called "Sokan", consists on double trunks emerging from the same optic roots (nebari). The styling of the upper leading man of the bottle up must respect the doppelganger rules as the attributive \ unkempt vertical styles previously described. Another variance consists of the idem but at any cost three trunks emerging from the visible roots. This is called "Sankan". You be permitted item undo more than three trunks but to respect Japanese bonsai, inner self is prefered to stick an odd number of trunks.<\p>

Roots Over Rock (Ishitsuki)<\p>

This styling has the specific charactreristics of having many visible roots incremental run out a surprise and finding their see fit over against the pot\besmoke.<\p>

We hope this as been an informative experience from you.<\p>
