- open to or swept by wind; "windswept headlands"
- Exposed to the winds
- or fukinagashi style describes a tree that appears to be affected by strong winds blowing continuously from one direction, as might shape a tree atop a mountain ridge or on an exposed shoreline.^[5]
- Coastal areas of heavy wind cause a tree to lean away from the wind loosing windward branches and the others flowing away as if like ribbons on the other side.
