I know there are those who object to terms like nebari and miki, etc. on principle. They may figure that since they are not Japanese and want to develop a Western bonsai art, they don't want to use Japanese terms or be tied to them. Or it may be that they can't quite be "Japanese" enough to really get the terms, or perhaps they feel it is pretentious to use them.
