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.
Acquisition method : Yamadori
Owner's note :
Fagus grandifolia; American beech is a large, deciduous tree native to eastern North America, known for its smooth, steel-gray bark, pointed leaves with toothed edges, and edible triangular nuts. It's a slow-growing tree that can live for centuries, often found in moist, well-drained soils, and is valued for its shade, fall color, and wildlife food source. A distinctive feature is its leaves, which often persist on the tree through winter.
