The Art of Bonsai Diane Relf, Extension Specialist, Horticulture, Virginia Tech PUBLICATION 426-601 The Art Of Bonsai Diane Relf, Extension Specialist, Horticulture, Virginia Tech Bonsai is an art form that stems from ancient Asian culture, Branches that occur lower down on the trunk should be the originating in China and developed by the Japanese. In longest, and biggest in diameter, with branches growing the 13th century, the Japanese collected and potted wild higher on the trunk becoming successively shorter and trees that had been dwarfed by nature. These naturally smaller in diameter. This imitates the natural appearance formed miniatures were some of the first bonsai. of a tree, suggesting that the lowest branches are the oldest (biggest/longest), and higher branches, having grown A bonsai (pronounced “bones-eye”) is literally a “tree in a more recently, are smaller and shorter. pot,” which further imitates, in miniature, the appearance of an old tree in nature. Old specimens in nature, unlike Bonsai can be classified into about 10 basic styles, of juvenile trees, have compact rounded tops, and horizontal which the most common are; formal upright, informal or drooping branches, which make them appear aged and upright, slanting, cascade, and semicascade. These graceful. There are three sizes of bonsai, ranging from classifications are based on the overall shape of the tree under 5 inches to about 30 inches in height. and how much the trunk slants away from an imaginary vertical axis. Not all plants are equally effective as bonsai. To produce a realistic illusion of a mature tree, all parts of the ideal • The formal upright style is one type that is considered bonsai - trunk, branches, twigs, leaves, flowers, fruits, to be easy for the novice bonsai grower. This style buds, roots - should be in perfect proportion with the features a straight trunk and a bottom branch that size of the tree. Plants used for bonsai should have small is lower and extends farther from the trunk than the leaves or leaves that become small under bonsai culture. opposite branch. Plants with overly large leaves, such as the avocado, will look out of proportion if chosen for bonsai. Sycamores also develop leaves that are too large. Certain species of both maple and elm trees usually respond well to bonsai culture and develop leaves that are in proportion. Among the plants with small leaves and needles appropriate for bonsai are spruce, pine, zelkova, and pomegranate. Leaves will miniaturize naturally the longer a tree grows in a shallow container, but one must still begin with a relatively small-leafed type. Plants chosen for bonsai should have attractive bark, and the trunk must give the illusion of maturity. The trunk should have girth, but must remain in proportion to the entire tree and should taper gradually toward the top of the tree. An ideal trunk has good buttress rootage at the base, and graceful movement as it rises to the apex. www.ext.vt.edu Produced by Communications and Marketing, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 2009 Virginia Cooperative Extension programs and employment are open to all, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, or marital or family status.

A cascaded design. The trunk is upright, but curving rather than planting usually looks best in a deep round or hexagonal straight, usually forming a zig-zag pyramidal shape. container. Major branches occur at the angles where the trunk bends, and the apex is aligned over the base of the trunk regardless of the directional shifts in the trunk. Achieving the alignment of trunk base and apex makes the tree asymmetrically balanced. • The semicascade style has a curving trunk that does not reach the bottom of the container as in the cascade style. Prostrate junipers and flowering plants adapt well to both of these styles. • In the slanting style, the trunk has a single more acute angle than in the informal upright style. The lowest branch spreads in a direction opposite to that in which the tree slants. 2 Bonsai Plant Guide PINE: Austrian, Pinus nigra Trees and shrubs are suitable for traditional bonsai.

  • The Legalization of Hinomaru and Kimigayo As Japan's National Flag
    The legalization of Hinomaru and Kimigayo as Japan's national flag and anthem and its connections to the political campaign of "healthy nationalism and internationalism" Marit Bruaset Institutt for østeuropeiske og orientalske studier, Universitetet i Oslo Vår 2003 Introduction The main focus of this thesis is the legalization of Hinomaru and Kimigayo as the national flag and anthem of Japan in 1999 and its connections to what seems to be an atypical Japanese form of postwar nationalism. In the 1980s a campaign headed by among others Prime Minister Nakasone was promoted to increase the pride of the Japanese in their nation and to achieve a “transformation of national consciousness”.1 Its supporters tended to use the term “healthy nationalism and internationalism”. When discussing the legalization of Hinomaru and Kimigayo as the national flag and anthem of Japan, it is necessary to look into the nationalism that became evident in the 1980s and see to what extent the legalization is connected with it. Furthermore we must discuss whether the legalization would have been possible without the emergence of so- called “healthy nationalism and internationalism”. Thus it is first necessary to discuss and try to clarify the confusing terms of “healthy nationalism and patriotism”. Secondly, we must look into why and how the so-called “healthy nationalism and internationalism” occurred and address the question of why its occurrence was controversial. The field of education seems to be the area of Japanese society where the controversy regarding its occurrence was strongest. The Ministry of Education, Monbushō, and the Japan Teachers' Union, Nihon Kyōshokuin Kumiai (hereafter Nikkyōso), were the main opponents struggling over the issue of Hinomaru, and especially Kimigayo, due to its lyrics praising the emperor.

Other systems such as `Verical axis', V and Y- shaped system,`Tatura trellis`,`Solen`, `Solax`, `Cone` etc. were developed in different countries of the world. Planting systems were classified at five group as low to ultra high density, that is since less 1000 to more than 8000 trees per hectare. According to studies in France during the last 40 years, apple tree cultivars have been classified in four group depend of their fruiting type - I type Starkrimson, II- Reine des Reinettes, III-Golden Delicious and IV-Granny Smith. This classification give us the answer why we have biennial bearing for the apple cultivars in type I and regular bearing for type IV, and why is very important to maintain good balance between vegetative growth and reproductive shoots as a part of apple canopy architecture.
