This piece is a group planting composed of 5 hinoki cypress trees which are displayed close together in a rectangular bonsai pot. Hinoki cypress bonsai usually emphasize the straightness of their trunks, but this piece instead gives the viewer the image of a group of trees swaying in the wind. Each trunk’s unique qualities create slight differences in movement throughout the piece, giving it a true sense of style.
