In bonsai terminology, "Araki" or "new wood" refers to a material that has not yet been worked on, such as a tree that has been temporarily planted after being collected from the mountain, or a tree that has been grown in a field. It refers to a tree that is about to start serious trunk and branch making. Since Araki is a natural thing, it shows a wonderful tree shape and a long time, but it cannot be a bonsai as it is. Because the roots are rough with mountain picking, it is necessary to root well, establish the tree, and add hands such as removing unnecessary branches and straightening the trunk. It is said that it takes time to gradually shape and finish it into a bonsai.
