Style
CHOKKAN (Erect formal)
E-mail:
This style is synonymous of perfect form to erect trunk. It demands the perfection of every element: the NEBARI, the TACHIAGARI (Foot), the position of the branches, the bark and the part apicale. The style CHOKKAN has to reproduce the aspect of a great tree that is risen toward the sky. In nature, the trees as these are of the stately solitary that you/they are seen for the more in the parks, to the center of open spaces, on plain grounds, where they grow unmolested and from dominators. It is ideal that the trunk, slender you gradually become upward thin, up to the apex as the gem of the bamboo that is perfectly conic, that the branches are perfectly underlined, which they extend in all the directions with uneven length and their intervals and their bigness reduces him as many gradually approaching himself/herself/itself to the apex. The first branch, or, more main point has to be to a bystander around of the height of the tree and the other branches they have to result distributed with regularity along one inhale her imaginary that climbs up to the top and they don't have to overlap the one on the other, so all can take the same quantity of light. Besides the frontal side of the tree has to be less rich than branches in comparison to the back part, so to give the sense of depth and perspective. The CHOKKAN is produced following the search of the ideal form of the Bonsai. Despite the erect formal style you seem easy to imitate, in reality it is one of the more difficulties to be realized, in how much the care of the details results conclusive and every inaccuracy represents a serious defect. Many types of CHOKKAN exist: slender, big, double trunk, ceppaia, beaten by the wind, etc. Some examples of CHOKKAN
