Edajun

The Japanese word "edajun" means the necessary branches lined up in order in a bonsai tree. The branch counted first from the base of the roots is "ichinoeda" (first branch), the branches separated left and right from the trunk are "ninoeda" and "sannoeda" (second and third branches), and the branch at the top is "kikieda" (point branch). The edajun is important for creating a balanced and harmonious bonsai design.
