Mitsue Tokoname Ware Flat Fan Japanese Bonsai Pot

This is a high-end Tokoname bonsai pot. Since each piece is very close to one of a kind, we recommend making your decision early if you are considering it.

The shape, when viewed from above, forms a beautiful fan-like silhouette, which is quite rare for a bonsai pot. In Japan, the fan has long been considered a symbol of prosperity and good fortune.

It would look lovely displayed in your home, and it may also be a charming choice for a shop or café, where it can quietly express a wish for flourishing business.

The sides are decorated with a graceful Japanese-style painting, giving the pot a refined presence. It would also make an elegant decorative pot for display at exhibitions or special presentations.

Since each piece is made by hand, there may be differences in appearance and feel from item to item. Please understand this beforehand.

Tokonameyaki is a type of pottery produced mainly in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture. Tokoname ware is very famous for its vermilion teapots. In addition to kyusu, terra cotta tiles are also famous, and this pottery is also useful as a building material. Terra-cotta-colored pottery is also often produced as bonsai pots, but the aging of the artisans is a real problem in this region, and the problem of successors is becoming more serious.
