"Ikadafuki" is a method or style of Bonsai, also known as "Ikadazukuri". In this style, a tree trunk is laid down and the branches that sprout from it are trained to grow upwards, becoming new trunks. This creates a multi-trunk tree form. The name "Ikadafuki" comes from the resemblance of the tree form to a raft.
This style is inspired by a common sight in the mountains, where branches sprout from a tree trunk that has fallen due to wind or snow, and these branches grow upwards to become new trunks. This tree form is older than the "Neziganari" form and is often created using the "Goyomatsu" tree.
The charm of the "Ikadafuki" style lies in its expression of the robust vitality of nature. However, it has some drawbacks, such as the tendency for the base to become monotonous and the difficulty in creating depth. To overcome these drawbacks, it is recommended to use trees with patterned trunks or to lay down double or triple trunk trees. The "Ikadafuki" style of Bonsai is a wonderful way to express the strength and beauty of nature.
