Regarding Zube's comments, there has been the notion that the repeated S style (Meika) are less bonsai-like than 'potted flowering plants'. In Japanese Satsuki exhibitions, according to Alexander Kennedy in Satsuki, such Meika are judged solely on their flowering performance and are distinct from Satsuki 'bonsai' displayed at the same shows. Satsuki can of course be trained into other more 'bonsai-like' styles like informal upright, cascade, raft, root over rock, exposed root, etc.
