Within the Shakan style there are several sub-styles, these include Dai-Shakan and Chu-Shakan. Each sub-style refers to the route in which the Bonsai branches are trained relative to the slant of the Bonsai trunk.
Each sub-type refers to the direction in which the branches are trained relative to the angle of the trunk. In the chu-shakan style, for example, the branch is trained back toward the trunk.
