Kuroiwa Haruki – Hand-Drawn Ceramic Bonsai Pot 

Kuroiwa Haruki – Ceramic Bonsai Pot 12cm*13cm*13cm

Kuroiwa Haruki hand-drawn ceramic bonsai pot

This Kuroiwa Haruki bonsai pot is a hand-thrown ceramic vessel with hand-drawn decoration, measuring 12 cm tall by 13 cm by 13 cm, made in the Japanese artisan tradition. The container is the item offered here, photographed from several angles so you can read the form and the drawn surface for yourself. It is a unique piece, and no plant or tree is part of the sale.

The body is a compact ceramic form with squared proportions that suit a single specimen or a small accent planting. Across its faces you can see the linework that Kuroiwa Haruki draws by hand, so the decoration shifts from one side to the next rather than repeating a printed motif. The glaze catches light along the rim and corners, giving the pot quiet depth when it sits on a display stand or shelf.

The Kuroiwa Haruki tradition

Kuroiwa Haruki works in the lineage of Japanese ceramic potters who decorate each piece individually, treating the pot as a small canvas as much as a growing container. Because every vessel is drawn by hand, no two come out identical, and the value sits in that one-off character. For collectors who care about the dialogue between tree and pot, a hand-drawn piece like this carries the maker’s own touch into the display.

About this piece

The pot shown here measures 12 cm in height and 13 by 13 cm across, with the drawn decoration running over its visible faces as captured in the photographs. It is a single, individually finished container, and the images represent the exact item you receive. What you see in the pictures is what is included, the ceramic pot on its own.

A piece on this scale works well for a shohin or mame planting, or as a standalone object for anyone building a small collection of Japanese artisan ware.
