Though there will be some rain this week, the hot and humid days are continuing in Tokyo. So in order to enjoy cooling sensation, I will show you some cool-looking bonsai pots today. Hope they make you feel like you are in the cool air or sea.
Looking at this pot, I feel as though I’m
on a glacier in the valley between high mountains like the Swiss Alps. I have
never been there, so I just imagine. The deep blue glaze is covered over the
light blue glaze on this pot. The flow of the deep blue glaze creates
interesting patterns and the cool-looking gradations of blue color.
This pot was made by the potter, Hideaki
Shimizu/Eimei of Tokoname and is one of his representative works. Eimei is Mr.
Shimizu’s professional name as a potter. He is one of the most famous bonsai
potters in Japan and his works have had a significant influence on bonsai
potters overseas.
I think the characteristics of his works are the beauty of
the form and the very delicate color of the glaze. The Celadon glaze of this
pot sometimes looks light yellow green and sometimes light blue. The small
crazes covering the surface make the pot more attractive. They look like small
crystals of ice and that’s why I like seeing it on hot days.
You can see it more here.
My customer living in the US, saw this pot and
said that looks like something you would see underwater in the Caribean. That
is very true!
The glaze looks like the water keeps flowing on the surface of
the pot. Some glaze drops on the brim of the pot giving a cool feeling.
It is also available here.
