Types of Bonsai Trees

[ad_left]

Shakan

The Shakan (”inclined root”) is tilted. It stands almost at the edge of the dish, and is growing at the other end beyond them. The tree is not “wrong” (as if he would soon fall down), but feels the constant wind and gives in on his stature. He is “strongly influenced by compliance.” This variant is further distinguished by the degree of inclination of Sho-Shakan (little) prone to over-Chu Shakan (moderately inclined) to Shakan Dai (highly inclined).

Fukinagashi

The Fukinagashi (”Pennant”) – “windswept style” – is in the stormy wind. The models of these are located on coasts, for example, in the steppes or mountain ridge. Typically, the branches and twigs are decorated with a bonsai in the windswept style almost exclusively Types of Bonsai 2in one direction resulted away from the trunk. The inclination direction of the stem is usually here for the direction in which the branches are formed. Bonsai style art will embody a certain tragedy, which is based essentially by the rise of their great models in nature. This can be, for example by the technique of accentuated or amplified debarking.
A Fukinagashi example can result from a bonsai with a straight, or better yet, already inclined stem or continue to be designed.

Han Kengai

Han Kengai bends over the bowl edge horizontally to the front or down slightly, but not below the tray bottom like a Kengai. It forms on the highest point of a small bonsai, but is not dominant and has an irregular, triangular or rounded crown. The tribe runs from the crown in loose curves downward. In nature they often occur in rock niches or under overhanging rocks. They have to grow horizontally or slightly tilted downwards to reach the sunlight. It is planted in a higher shell than in the upright bonsai shapes.

Kengai

The Kengai (”cascade”) is usually designed in a large pot or in a bowl on a high pedestal. The first branch is usually still on the pan and forms a more or less strong crown. The other branches, and the actual crown of the tree are extended below the pot rim in extreme forms, even below the platform. The roots have to be specially trained vigorously to represent a special will to survive in unfavorable climes, where the tree grows. At the same time this is needed so that the tree does not tip over by its own weight out of the shell. Such tree shapes are found in the mountains, where trees grow out of a cliff and out due to weather.
