This is a vector file, but the work is drawn in an ink painting style (Suiboku Style).
In Japan, the moon and the sun are represented differently.
In this work, the yellow circle on the right side is the moon. The yellow circle drawn by foreigners is usually the sun, but in Japan, the red circle is drawn as the sun, as shown in the Japanese national flag. In Japan, the sun is usually depicted in red and the moon in yellow. This is one of the reasons why the sensitivity of the Japanese flag is slightly different from that of other countries.
Any flowers and trees can be used for bonsai.
There are no restrictions as far as flowering trees that can fit into small pots, such as plum trees, maple trees, pine trees, bamboo, broad-leaved trees, and coniferous trees. Among them, pine tree bonsai is especially famous for its characteristic of transforming into more complex shapes the more time is spent on it. Besides, it is also used as a tree of good luck in Japan, represented by the pine, bamboo, and plum trees (Shochikubai).
In the past, pine trees were used as unexpected objects
Have you ever visited a castle in Japan? Did you know that there are many pine trees planted within the castle grounds? When a castle is besieged in war, the most difficult thing is food for the soldiers and other people. It seems that pine trees were planted to provide food for the soldiers. I don’t know if they actually ate them, but they don’t seem to be tasty.
