NAGINOWA Black Crown BANKO Ware Japanese Bonsai Pot 4.1 in.

This bonsai pot carries a deep black tone with gentle hints of grey and blue, giving it a subtle, intriguing beauty.
Its shape is wonderfully unique—almost like a sheet of paper with lifted corners, softly curved as if it were folding into itself.
You might even find it reminiscent of a tiny magic carpet from a fairytale.

Though small, its shallow form makes it a piece favored by more experienced enthusiasts.
Whether displayed indoors as a delicate accent or placed outdoors to enjoy with your plants, it brings a quiet elegance to any setting.

Since each item is individually handmade, there may be differences in appearance and feel from product to product. Please understand this beforehand.

This is Banko-yaki. Banko-yaki is a type of pottery produced mainly in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture. It originated in the middle of the Edo period (1603-1868) and was named after the wish that the work would remain forever. "Ban" means "everything." "Ko" means "months and days gone by." In addition to bonsai pots, it is also resistant to fire, such as kyusu (teapots) and earthenware pots.
