The Japanese Bonsai, translates as "tray planting", and more commonly describes the art of emulating nature with trees that have been dwarfed by shaping and root pruning.
Tokoname pottery is a wonderful example of fine garden art. Tokoname has a 900-year history of exceptional pottery making. Generations of potters have worked their craft in this region using the special iron oxide clay which is far superior to other clays.
For bonsai enthusiasts the most prized pots are from these old kilns of Tokoname.
