Informal information:

This taller matt white square pot from Ikko has a lovely crackle, different on each side. There is a good patina, and yet no marks on the drain hole. The colour and shape are very practical, a brave bonsaist might try a sumo Pine instead of the obvious deciduous!

Ikkou, or Mr. Watanabe Kazuhiro to give him his proper name, is a potter from Tokoname, son of Shouzan, and is recognised for producing very high quality work, especially Shohin pots. For example, he is known to water his pots and test tiles to see how they develop patina, and then adjusts his glaze. Meticulous! Thor Holvilla has written an interesting bio on him and his work, Bonsai Empire also featured him in their videos of Tokoname potters, which you can find here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hog0yLdLdfI&t=31s.
