BONSAI STYLES
As far as I know,
historically, there were 3 styles of bonsai: Upright,
slanted, and cascade. Over time these styles were refined
into 2 additional styles: Informal-upright, and Semi-cascade.
I had found these styles to be too restrictive until I read John Yoshio
Naka's book "Bonsai Techniques I". In his book John identified
the options for each style and identified other styles that I was not aware
of.
This section illustrates those styles and is a partial reprint of the styles
found in his book. Special thanks to John Yoshio Naka for allowing us to
reprint this information.
