There are few things more delicate and beautiful than fresh spring Maple leaves (Trident maple in this case). This exquisite tree and exquisite pot are perfect expressions of the artistry of Haruyoshi.
Still out of the office (working at my unpaid job through the weekend) so we’ll continue borrowing from our illustrious past. This one is from April of last year.
I won’t bore you, except to say that Haruyosi does a couple things that set him apart. First, he puts up a very large number of masterpiece shohin and mame bonsai and pots; and second, he puts up a lot of photos that reveal the process. For both trees and pots.
Red on red. In a previous Haruyosi post (Very Red and Very Rare), we mentioned that red glazes are expensive and not that easy to do. Apparently, neither the cost nor difficultly deter Mr Haruyoshi. The tree is an Elaeagnus pungens (Siverthorn in English, Kangumi in Japanese).
More delicate spring beauty. This time the pot is yellow. It turns out that, like red pots, yellow pots aren't all that common. The tree is Malus halliana (Hall's crapapple).
This luscious little Japanese quince (Chaenomeles speciosa) looks old and yet is so small. As is the sweet little pot (small, not necessarily old). I know I've mentioned this before, but there's something about the brilliance and purity of quince flowers.
Just another Haruyosi masterpiece pot. Red and yellow together, but I guess you probably noticed.
