The trunk of this bonsai spreads to the left and right as though torn apart from the base with each side obediently following the flow of the branches, drawing a complex curve. The tips of the branches at the left side of the tree have turned to jin, dead whitewood branches, which give impact to its beautiful shape. This tree was collected in the Chichibu area of Saitama, and named “Bukou”, after Mt. Bukou, a well-known mountain in Chichibu.
