Section 11 -- Dictionary of Japanese bonsai terms
Bonsai styles ---
chokkan Formal Upright
The chokkan bonsai typically has a single, upright
trunk that tapers toward the top. Branches are
symmetrically balanced and well spaced.
moyogi Informal Upright
Moyogi bonsai have a single trunk like the chokkan,
but the trunk is usually curved. The trunk generally
tapers toward the top like the formal upright.
kabudachi Multiple Trunks
sokan Twin Trunk
sankan Triple Trunk
gokan 5 trunk
Two (or 3 or 5) trunks growing from the same root.
Usually one trunk is the largest and is referred to
as the parent. Good conformation is based on the
aesthetic balance of the smaller 'children' to the
parent in trunk thickness.
shakan Slanting
A single trunk, similar to the formal and informal
upright, but cultivated with the trunk growing at
an angle other than 90 degrees to the ground.
Branches are again balanced and well spaced.
netsuranari or netsunagari Sinuous
sinuous bonsai have multiple trees growing from a
single sinuous root. 5 needle pine are most commonly
used for this style.
neagari Exposed Root
Roots growing up out of the ground, suspending the
trunk in the air, characterize this rare style of
bonsai.
ikada Raft
Similar in effect to netsuranari, but typically with
one straight horizontal root joining the trees.
This is usually accomplished by burying a larger
tree horizontally and then training each branch as a
separate tree.
fukinagashi Windswept
Similar to the slanting style, but all of the
branches are swept in one direction as though it
were growing in a place with a strong constant
prevailing wind.
kengai Cascade
An unusual form where the trunk and branches arch
and 'cascade' over the edge of the pot. Usually
planted in a deep pot to give balance to its
unusual form.
bunjingi Literati
Upright or informally upright trunk bare of branches
except at the top, characterized by a tasteful
simple elegance.
hokidachi Broom
Broom style trees have an upright trunk, with
branches evenly fanned out. It resembles an old
fashioned broom standing on its handle.
yose-ue Group
A group planting of distinct separate trees,
representing a grove, or forest.
ishitsuki Rock-grown
There are two basic types of rock grown bonsai:
root grasping the rock, where the roots do enter
the soil the rock is protruding from; and on, or
in the rock, where the tree is planted in a pocket
of earth attached to the rock, or in a hollow in
the rock.
Growing techniques
misho Grown from seed
yamadori Collecting plants from nature
sashiki Grown from cuttings
tsugiki Grafting
toriki Layering and dividing
