The Nejikan style
Twisted Trunk Style

The Nejikan style in bonsai is distinguished by a strongly twisted and irregular trunk. This trunk features pronounced curves and twists, giving the impression it has been sculpted by natural elements. The twists of the Nejikan trunk can vary in intensity, ranging from slight curves to more dramatic twists.

The branches of the Nejikan bonsai are often few in relation to the massive trunk, and they may also exhibit curves and twists. The leaves or needles, depending on the tree species, can be small in size, but they are generally proportionate to the size of the bonsai.

The Nejikan style is highly valued for its unique and artistic appearance. It evokes the idea of a tree that has survived adverse conditions and developed twists in response to these challenges.
