FORM AL UP RIGHT

(CHOKKAN)

A STRAIGHT, UPRIGHT TRUNK THAT CARRIES ON ALL THE WAY TO THE VERY TOP OF THE TREE AND HAS A UNIFORM TAPER FROM THE BASE TO THE APEX. THIS STYLE IS MOST APPROPRIATELY USED AND ASSOCIATED WITH BONSAI CONIFERS.

INFORM AL UP RIGHT

(MOYOGI)

THIS IS THE MOST COMMON OF ALL BONSAI STYLES. THE TRUNK DESCRIBES A SERIES OF CURVES BEGINNING AT THE BASE AND CONTINUING UP TO THE APEX IN DIMINISHING SCALE. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE UNIFORM TAPER USUALLY. USED FOR CONIFERS OR BROADLEAVED TREES.

SLANTING

(SHAKAN)

THIS IS A VARIATION ON THE FORMAL AND INFORMAL UPRIGHT STYLES. THE TRUNK (NATURALLY ENOUGH) IS INCLINED EITHER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. CONIFERS OR BROADLEAVED SPECIES CAN BE TREATED THIS WAY.

BROOM

(HOKIDACHI)

THE MOST AUTHENTICALLY TREE-LIKE OF BONSAI STYLES. THE TRUNK IS STRAIGHT. THE BRANCHES FAN OUT, FORKING TO FORM A SYMMETRICAL, DOMED CANOPY. BEST CONFINED TO BROADLEAVED SPECIES.

SEMI-CASCADE

(HAN-KENGAI)

THIS STYLE MIMICS A TREE CLINGING TO A MOUNTAIN LEDGE, WHERE ITS LOWEST BRANCH CASCADES TO BELOW THE RIM OF THE POT. IT IS COMMONLY USED FOR CONIFERS, AND SOMETIMES FOR BROADLEAVED SPECIES.

CASCADE

(KENGAI)

INSPIRED BY THE IMAGE OF A TREE CLINGING TO A CLIFF FACE, THE LOWEST POINT OF THE TREE IN THE STYLE MUST FALL BELOW THE BASE OF THE POT. THIS STYLE (AND SEMI-CASCADE STYLES) ARE BEST PLANTED IN POTS THAT ARE DEEPER THAN THEY ARE WIDE. IT IS BEST USED WITH CONIFERS, AS BROADLEAVED SPECIES MAY BE WEAKENED AT THEIR LOWEST POINT.
