The Japanese name for the spindle tree, Nishikigi, literally means Japanese brocade tree, a name that was given because its red leaves resemble a traditional Japanese brocade pattern. The overall shape of this bonsai brings to mind person twisted at the waist, arms spread wide. A highlight of this bonsai is the way it grows continually a darker green through summer.
