This bonsai is a well-known bunjingi, or literati bonsai, a style of bonsai that dares to break the balance of the tree. The name of this bonsai was taken from the famous poem Returning Home (called Kikyorai no Ji in Japanese) by the renowned Chinese Tang Dynasty Poet Tao Yuanming (365AD-427AD), which he wrote when he retired from serving at the imperial court and returned to his hometown.
