there are many aesthetic ‘rules’ in Bonsai, however these should only be

regarded as guidelines and you should try to observe and replicate the image of
trees that are around you. Try to create a tree that inspires you whilst retaining
the feeling that it could actually exist on the side of a mountain or deep in a
valley.
A bonsai should create an image which makes it worthy of repeated
inspection whilst retaining its natural beauty and shape.
