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.
Condition note: This pot is new. The textured exterior and natural surface variation are intentional and consistent with handmade Tokoname work.
Why this pot works
- Compact rectangle with a grounded stance—ideal for shohin and smaller compositions
- Textured, rustic exterior that complements rugged bark, deadwood, and powerful trunks
- Thick rim and strong shoulder line for a confident, traditional feel
- Drainage holes and a clean interior basin for straightforward planting
Dimensions
- Outside: 6 in x 5.25 in x 2 in tall
- Inside: 5 in x 4.25 in x 1.5 in

We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.
Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.
Bonsai Outlet is a licensed nursery, not just a warehouse. We follow the proper inspection and certification requirements for shipping live plants across state lines. When a state requires additional documentation, such as a nematode certificate or nursery inspection certificate, we work to ensure the proper requirements are met before shipping.
