Informal information:
How sweet is this pot? Crying out for a cascading Shohin Prunus, Cotoneaster, Crab Apple, Quince or similar, it will easily create a wonderful Spring image. I don't think I need to write anymore about it!
Condition: unused, excellent.
Shibakatsu, Mr Katsuichi Shibata of Tokoname has been making pots for over 40 years, I believe his pots are mostly mould made. He places an emphasis on the pot being good for growing, and aesthetic after, and has a good reputation because of this. On the Tokoname website there is a great quote:
"Every time I open the kiln, and the results are as expected, I am surprised".
What a wonderful reminder that potters are wise to be humble before the fire God.
