Oh yes, I think you are referring to Bonsais and indeed some of the trees do look like giant Bonsais. Japanese people like conifer trees when they are leaning and/or have an S-bend trunk. The leaves (needles) are clumped into round shapes at the end of branches. Very traditional.
Have another look at the picture below, all the trees and plants are shaped and structured. Of course they are not growing in the wild but are planted in either yards display areas or gardens. The are looked after with great care.
Thanks for commenting.
Cheers
