About the Artist:
Hokido, born Naoyuki Maenami in 1942, established his kiln in 1976, a pivotal time during the bonsai pottery resurgence. Renowned for his development of his signature Syudei red clay, which mirrors the rich tones of antique Chinese ceramics, Hokido’s pots are revered for their exceptional quality and historical significance. Each piece reflects Hokido’s meticulous craftsmanship and deep understanding of Tokoname’s pottery traditions, embodying a harmonious blend of innovation and heritage. Hokido’s first pots were so exquisite that upon their debut, it is said, some Japanese bonsai enthusiasts mistook them for authentic antique Chinese pots.
