Bonsai Styles - Cascade Style (KENGAI)
 


Semi-cascade (HAN-KENGAI) is very close to an extremely slanted trunk style. The apex is placed at tip of tree. Medium depth pot can be used for this style.
   
A formal cascade.
   
In the center of the pot the apex and the tip of the cascading portion form a straight line in the very formal style.
   
GAITO-KENGAI can be likened to a tree growing on a mountain top, with part of it hanging over the cliff. Almost wind swept.
