Formal description:
Hand made shohin Japanese bonsai pot by Shibakatsu of Tokoname, straight sided rectangle with internal rim,cut feet, seal of Shibakatsu underneath.

Informal information:
Handmade, simple pot from Shibakatsu. Sometimes simple is best, let the tree do the talking. Subtle rounded corners, and cut feet with good depth make this a good choice for a powerful shohin conifer. Great colour too.
Condition: Used, 1mm wobble, otherwise 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.
