This group planting is composed of Korean hornbeam, which grows naturally in parts of Kyushu and on the Korean peninsula. This piece was created half a century ago by Teruo Kurosu, master of the Shosetsu-en Bonsai Garden who trained at the Toju-en Bonsai Garden located in the Omiya Bonsai Village. The multiple trunks radiating outward with the main trunk at the center create the scene of a grove.
