Kanjo
The Kanjo style
Loop or Ring Style

The Kanjo style in bonsai is characterized by a twisted and sinuous trunk, often with elegant and graceful curves. The trunk may display harmonious twists and turns, giving the tree a unique and artistic appearance. The branches of the Kanjo bonsai also follow the movement of the trunk, creating visual harmony. They are arranged in a way to complement the twisted trunk.
The leaves or needles can vary in size, but they are generally of a pleasant and symmetrical shape, adding to the aesthetics of the tree. In some cases, the roots of the Kanjo bonsai may be partially exposed, enhancing the wild and natural aspect of the tree.
All these elements aim to capture the appearance of a tree that has grown under difficult conditions, which gives the Kanjo style a rustic, full of character, and artistically expressive look.
