This refers to wiring a trunk or branch for bending to create elegance. It is also called ”moyozuke” (making of patterns). The wiring work is done by and large when branches are 1 or 2 years old because it cannot be carried out when trunks and branches become old. In addition to wiring, there is also a way of setting a pole made from bamboo or synthetic resin while a branch and trunk are under cultivation in the field, by bending the trunk and fastening it for kyokuzuke.
