Cloud pruning, also known as “Niwaki,” is a captivating Japanese art form that transforms trees and shrubs into stunning, cloud-like sculptures. 🌳🌿

I’ve been mesmerized by this practice during my time in Japan and can’t wait to learn it when I return.

The harmony it brings to nature and garden spaces is truly inspiring.

Have you ever tried cloud pruning or explored Japanese gardening?
