This tree is also known as Curly Willow.

I met big willow who has characteristic of screwed branch at the lakeside of Biwako in Nagahama of Shiga Prefecture.

This type of plant is called “Unryu / 雲竜 / うんりゅう” in Japan.

“Un-Ryu” literally means “Clouds-Dragon” in English. It may be said that “Un-Ryu” refers to old painting works. It is known as “Un-Ryu-Zu” = “Clouds-Dragon-Drawing”

As for Un-Ryu-Zu, It may be good to see website of Kenninji temple.

Plants who has characteristic of Unryu is usually favored especially in bonsai.

That is reason why Unryu has character of screwed branch in itself and it is essential elements for bonsai when we shape it.


The willow was big bushy tree who had three trunks.


This tree has many twisted branches.


Leaves are also cuarly
