About the Artist:
Bigei, the art name of Hirata Atsumi, is a celebrated potter from Tokoname, renowned for his handmade bonsai pots. His work is highly valued for its distinctive use of syudei clay, known for its reddish hue, 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, adding to their rustic and natural aesthetic. With the closing of the Bigei kiln, these pots have become even more treasured, making Bigei pots a prized possession for bonsai enthusiasts and collectors alike.
