The branches of this bonsai spread to the left and right as though torn apart from the base with branches obediently outward in complexly drawn curves. The tips of the branches at the left side of the tree have turned to jin, dead whitewood endings, which give impact to this beautiful shape. This tree was collected in the Chichibu area of Saitama, and named Bukou, after Mt. Bukou, a well known mountain in Chichibu.
