Description
This exceptional rectangular bonsai pot by Taniraku Hozan is a masterpiece of ceramic painting. It features a brilliant white that serves as a canvas for an intricate, hand-painted landscape scene. The artwork depicts serene mountains, trees, and figures, rendered with delicate brushwork that brings a narrative quality to the piece. The pot sits on decorative feet that flow seamlessly from the body, and the rim is gently flared, adding a touch of elegance to the robust rectangular form. The condition is excellent, preserving the vibrancy of the painting.
Painted pots of this caliber are traditionally paired with flowering or fruiting species, such as Satsuki Azalea, Japanese Quince (Chojubai), or Princess Persimmon, where the colorful fruit or blooms complement the artwork. However, it is also an excellent choice for a refined Japanese Maple.
