Naginowa Shigaraki Ware Iron Glaze Shallow Japanese Bonsai Pot 3.1 in.

This Shigaraki bonsai pot is decorated with a mercury-like heavy silver pattern on a dark gray background.

When you touch the pattern, you can see that it is slightly embossed, giving it a distinctive design with a surface texture not found on other bonsai pots.

The pattern is highly original and not the same from one product to another.

This product reminds us that bonsai is not only a tree, but even the pot is an art.

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

This is Shigaraki ware. Shigaraki ware is pottery produced mainly in the area around Koga County, Shiga Prefecture. Shigaraki is good at making large ceramics, and in the past, hibachi (brazier) was often made. In modern times, flowerpots, vases, and washbasins are also produced in large quantities. Shigaraki ware is also famous throughout Japan and the world for its Tanuki (raccoon dog) figurines.
