I'm sure everyone here knows I don't usually jump in on these discussions. But from what Andy said, I really think he put the icing on the cake, meaning it's finished. I don't see how anyone can explain it any better. It's not about culture as he said, but rather about art. Now if you don't believe that bonsai is an art, then you will probably only see it as a culture thing and it will always be the Japanese style or the European style etc. I for myself like the natural style very much, but not any where near as much as what I see in the art form that the Japanese use, or for that matter the Chinese style also.
