Impressive flowerpot made by the late artist Yamato Sanko of Tokoname. The bonsaipot's "volcano lava" finish is one of the hallmarks of this artist who created works of unquestionable quality.
Mitsuo Yamada (Yamato Sanko) is the artist who lends his name to the Tokoname kiln of the same name. Some authors point to him as originating in Shigaraki. However, he is from Tokoname, and some of his works bear the Shigaraki customs seal. He was a ceramist specializing in large-scale works and known for his "volcanic lava" finish, where cracks open up on the bodies of the pots, resembling sores with a striking red interior.
