Having read this, i was sure i had seen Dragon style mentioned in Craig Coussins new book, Bonsai School.

Here i quote from Bonsai School by Craig Coussins (Sterling Books, published 2004)

"The Northern school is divided into the Eastern Su and Western Su schools" (Please note he is referring to regional styles and schools in China of Penjing)

"EASTERN SU:
The Eastern Su school
The Yangzhou school"

"Penjing with one to three levels represent the 'platform style,' and those with over three levels are of the 'ingenious or delicate cloud style,' most of the trunks are trained into a spiraling shape known as 'roaming dragon curves.' "

PLEASE NOTE: Although this quote is taken from Craig Coussins book, the Article the quote is from is written by Robert J. Baran.

Hope that helps.
Rowan
