Kuroiwa Haruki hand-painted ceramic bonsai pot

This Kuroiwa Haruki bonsai pot is a hand-thrown and hand-painted ceramic vessel measuring 12 cm wide by 12 cm tall, made in the Japanese artisan tradition. The container is the item offered here, photographed from several angles so you can see the form and the painted surface for yourself. It arrives brand new and unused, and no plant or tree is part of the sale.

The body is a compact ceramic form with the soft squared proportions that suit a single specimen or a small accent planting. Across its faces you can see the brushwork that Kuroiwa Haruki applies by hand, so the decoration shifts from one side to the next rather than repeating a printed pattern. The glaze catches light along the rim and corners, which gives 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 paint each piece individually, treating the pot as a small canvas as much as a growing container. Because every vessel is decorated 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-painted piece like this carries the maker’s own touch into the display.

About this piece

The pot shown here measures 12 cm across and 12 cm in height, with the painted decoration running across 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.
