Handmade Bonsai Pot by Reiho (Katsushi Kataoka)
This refined rectangular bonsai pot was made at Seizan Kiln in Tokoname by Reiho (Katsushi Kataoka), 4th generation. I visited the kiln in November 2025 and had the honor of hand-selecting pots directly from what was available on site, not from a catalog.
Why this pot works
- Classic rectangle with clean rim lines that suits both refined deciduous trees and conifers
- Deep dark blue glaze that adds contrast and makes foliage and bark stand out
- Sturdy, low profile feet for stability and a clean lift
- Multiple drainage and tie-down holes for practical, secure planting
Dimensions
- Outside: 13.5 in x 9.75 in x 3.75 in tall
- Inside: 12 in x 8 in x 2 in
