Bonsai pot JTA8722 YAMAAKI SHOUSEN
A true rarity! A bonsai pot from the early 20th century, created by the master craftsman Akiji Kataoka, founder of the Yamaaki kiln in Tokoname. Made from the traditional Tokoname shudei clay, this delicate rectangular piece features clean, elegant lines. It also bears an antique Nakawatari stamp from the Chōshun kiln, a rare but characteristic detail of some early 20th-century kilns, such as Izumi-Ya and Yamaaki itself.

The Yamaaki kiln was founded in 1920, making it one of the oldest contemporary workshops in Tokoname. Its founder, Akiji Kataoka, established a ceramic tradition that would endure for generations. After his death in 1990, his sons, Sadamitsu Kataoka (known artistically as Koshōsen) and Toshio Kataoka, continued the family kiln's operations. Akiji Kataoka signed his works with the artistic name Jūōdō (Juodo) Shōsen, though he is more commonly known simply as Shōsen.
