This Japanese maple bonsai has three trunks rising and unfolding like a fan from its thick, robust root base. From summer to the start of autumn, this tree grows thick with lush leaves, as if to cover the land with life. In the autumn, the changing of the leaves transforms this bonsai into an impressive red hill, which is the meaning and source of the tree’s title, Kōryō, which literally means "crimson hill".
