The Japanese apricot, which has been the messenger of spring’s coming since ancient times, was an early favourite for creating bonsai with picture scrolls from the Muromachi period containing images of them. This bonsai, with bark that leaves the impression of the many years of its life, blooms white flowers. The main trunk twisting to form a large curve to the left and the smaller trunk also bending in accord, give this bonsai a dignified shape.
