Gyouzan – unglazed rectangle – 14.57 x 11.46  x 4.48 inches

This is an unglazed Bonsai container made by Gyouzan- Nakano Yukizou.  The pot is rectangular with cloud feet and measures  14.57 x 11.46  x 4.48  inches.  The container works well with many different conifers and is built from beautiful colored high quality clay.   

Containers produced by the Gyouzan Kiln are created with gorgeous colored and exceptionally high quality clay. This matched with clean lines and phenomenal attention to detail is why Gyouzan makes my favorite modern unglazed containers.  In fact, Gyouzan custom made pots which are signed on the bottom are fully handmade, without the use of any molds. This impressive feat is one of the main reasons these containers are often found in Japans top Bonsai exhibitions like the Kokufu Ten.  Besides from Gyouzan’s hand made line, they also produce semi-handmade and pots made mostly by using molds.  All three tiers of pots are still super high quality, however the price ranges depending the tier.  Yukizyou Nakano is the owner and lead maker of Gyouzan containers.  His son-in-law Yujii Nakano also created containers in the past, these will be clearly marked as “Yuji” containers to differentiate between the two makers.

The fine print:

Please examine all images closely before purchasing.  Many of the items I have for sale have decades of use and may be dirty and small cracks or chips. I do my best to point out anything noteworthy, however it’s very possible I could miss something.  Also, because frequently my contacts are in Japan, it’s possible certain subtleties get lost in translation.  Finally color may vary depending on specific lighting.  My intention is not to mislead anyone and I offer a full refund minus return shipping within 10 days of receiving an item if you are not fully satisfied.
