Style FUKINAGASHI (Windy)
 

To create a bonsai in style FUKINAGASHI, means to reproduce the image of trees constantly beaten by the wind and not only. That is it doesn't need to represent only the wind that is blowing on the tree, but also to represent the effect of the action of the wind in the time. In fact these trees are seen on the tall coastlines, and their trunks and their branches are invariably turned I pour earth and, because of the wind rich in saltiness that blows strong from the sea, they very often appear naked and whitened. Therefore for this style it is very important the angle of inclination of the branches in comparison to the trunk, as also the position in which is planted in the vase, since, there are no branches on a side and curtains to give a feeling of instability. If he/she is wanted to represent a tree strongly beaten by the wind it needs to remember himself/herself/themselves that also the lowest branches will have to be curved. The trees with this form are a po the symbol of the tenacity, of the unwavering and of the human courage in front of the adversities. Artists of every time both in the painting that I/you/they are often inspired you to express the untamable spirit of the man in the bonsai.
