This brilliant bonsai pot is by Satomi Terahata, as are the other pots shown here
There are two ways to look at bonsai pots – with and without trees. Pots with trees are often overlooked, especially by less experience bonsai enthusiasts, who may not yet fully grasp the importance of the relationship. How a bonsai isn’t a bonsai without the pot. Or, in the eyes of some, ‘without the right pot.’
In this post it’s pots without trees. This offers a chance to appreciate the art of bonsai pottery simply as is (no tree required) and an opportunity to imagine what kind of tree might be suitable for a particular pot.
All the pots in this post are by Satomi Terahata. I found the lead pot here on facebook. The rest were here and there on the web, including on one of my favorite sites, Japanese Bonsai Pots.
