bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Is it Japanese or Chinese

really all I'm trying to find out is what connotes chinese styling vs. japanese styling. I often hear of trees described as chinese or japanese, but I really know little about what actually what makes that style other than nationality of the artist, or origin of the particular tree.

Hans,

if you'd like to chime in and descride what would make a tree "non-oriental' in its styling by all means explain. I'm just curious about what criteria can be used to make these derivations.
