The Kengai style
Cascade Style

The Kengai style, also known as the cascade style, is a bonsai style characterized by a trunk leaning downwards significantly, evoking the appearance of a natural waterfall. The trunk may exhibit a graceful curve to mimic the flow of water cascading down.

The branches and leaves extend downwards in a harmonious manner, thus creating an overflowing effect, similar to that of water descending from a waterfall. The branches are generally arranged to follow the direction of the inclined trunk. You can often observe a visual contrast between the upper part of the branches, where leaves or needles are more abundant, and the lower part, which might be more sparse.

This bonsai style is highly aesthetic and evokes the beauty of natural waterfalls. It can create an atmosphere of tranquility and harmony in your bonsai collection.
