Moyogi
 

Japanese name: Moyogi
English name: Informal upright
Dutch name: Vrij opgaand
Probably the most common style.
The trunk tapers from base to apex, has a number of bends, and the crown should lean towards the front.
Traditionally, the branches should point in 8 directions, but 4 is also acceptable. The lowest branch should be the strongest, and each branch should follow the line of the bends in the trunk.
