What are the characteristics of the slanting (Shakan) bonsai style?

The Slanting (Shakan) style features a trunk that slants to one side, mimicking trees that grow on slopes or against strong winds. The branches generally grow out horizontally, balancing the tree's visual weight across the inclination, creating a dynamic yet stable appearance.
