This lesson guides you through every stage of making a rock-planting bonsai with Ibigawa stone. You’ll learn how to choose a stone and identify its best viewing angle, why certain tree species are selected, and how to balance stone and foliage for maximum impact. Focusing on a juniper in cascade style, the video demonstrates hands-on techniques for harmonising tree and rock to evoke a windswept landscape that suggests years of survival in harsh elements.
