Styling wind swept bonsai - fukinagashi

the trunk and all the branches grow in one direction to express that the tree has been blown by strong winds.

this style is similar to semi-cascade and slanting bonsai, but this shape has all the branches growing in one direction.

Key points to make this shape

1. most importantly, the trunk and all the branches must grow in one direction

2. branches never grow upwards

3. the trunk should slant to the same direction the branches are blown to.

4. the proportion of the height and the width of the tree is important to make this shape. The width must be greater than the height.

5. the branches and the trunk require a lot of wiring work to make this shape, so be careful when bending them. Some branches may need to be bent at a complete 180° curve to achieve a natural look. Of course, such a drastic curve must be made over time and making such a sudden bend should be avoided.
