Kiri-eda

The term "Kiri-eda" means a branch that crosses the trunk. This is usually considered a design mistake, as it disrupts the harmony and balance of the tree. However, some bonsai artists may use this technique to create a unique or dramatic effect, such as in the raft form (Ikadabuki) or the windswept form (Fukinagashi).
