An impressive bonsai pot crafted by the late artist Yamato Sanko, from Tokoname. The finish and the clay body of the pot are truly special. One of the feet has been repaired.
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.
