The Chokkan style
Formal upright style

The Chokkan style in bonsai is characterized by a straight, vertical, and conical trunk. This trunk rises directly from the base of the bonsai without significant curvature or twisting. The branches are symmetrically distributed along the main trunk, with a tiered arrangement, each tier being slightly higher than the one before.

The leaves or needles are small and slender, contributing to the elegant appearance of the Chokkan. This style aims to create an impression of dignity, strength, and balance. The vertical trunk and symmetrical branches reinforce this aesthetic, giving the tree a majestic presence.
