About the Artist:
Bigei, the art name of Hirata Atsumi, is a celebrated potter from the Tokoname region, known for his handmade bonsai pots. His work is highly valued for its distinctive use of syudei clay, known for its rich hues and detailed decorative carvings. Bigei’s pottery includes a range of shapes and sizes, from small shohin-sized pots to larger, more elaborate designs. The pots are often unglazed, which adds to their rustic and natural aesthetic, making them ideal for bonsai trees as they provide a stable and breathable environment for the roots. With the closing of the Bigei kiln, these pots have become even more treasured, as no new pieces are being produced. This rarity, combined with the high quality and artistic detail, makes Bigei pots a prized possession for bonsai enthusiasts and collectors alike.
