As you spread the seeds walk in straight lines from one end of the bed to the other. Then do the same thing from the side of the bed in a criss cross pattern to the first set of footsteps you made. This will give you thorough and even distribution.
If the edges are even but not completely closed (a straight line of light is visible) when you shut them, you can adjust the overlap by grinding the 'stop pin' located on the handles.
Sub-variety of this style include the Ikadabuki or the straight line Bonsai, in which the Bonsai trunk is elevated completely clear of the soil.
No three trunks should form a straight line and no trunk should be obscured by another when viewed from the front.
The trees in the centre of the group or forest should be the tallest, with the thickest trunks bearing the most foliage.
Sub-styles include the ikadabuki (straight line), in which the trunk is entirely out of the soil. Typically it will rest on the surface, but some can actually grow somewhat like a kengai and are slightly above the ground.
In the center of the pot the apex and the tip of the cascading portion form a straight line in the very formal style.
GAITO-KENGAI can be likened to a tree growing on a mountain top, with part of it hanging over the cliff. Almost wind swept.
The Ikadabuki, or Straight Line Style keeps the trunk (at least the middle) wholly out of the soil and straight, as the name suggests.
The white sand is used to imitate running water. Use sand sparingly. Have the sand trail off into the distance and avoid straight lines that lead the viewer out of your grouping.

Aim to have your cutting around 2 to 4 inches long, bearing in mind the type of tree you are replicating. The cutting should be taken on a 45 degree angle; not cut in a straight line.
On the sides of the pot a few smaller trees are planted to contribute to one single crown. The trees are planted not in a straight line but in a staggered pattern, because this way the forest looks natural.
In choosing a nursery plant for this style, make sure the trunk rises from the ground in a fairly straight line. The trunk should be straight and not fork or branch out for the total height of the tree.
