A beautiful, rectangular, unglazed bonsai pot featuring a *chōhō-bachi* style rim and a seal by Zenigo. It incorporates an ornamental *gaku-iri* (or *gaku-men*) design element—where *gaku* refers to the "frame" visible on the body of the piece, and *iri* means "interior." This feature creates a refined, framed effect that adds depth, elegance, and distinction to the design. The piece is finished with exquisite "cloud-style" feet, known as *komo-ashi*, the details of which further highlight the artisanal quality and unique character of the work. It is a creation of the Izumi-Ya kiln in Tokoname—the birthplace of one of the most highly regarded pottery traditions in the world of bonsai.
Izumi-Ya is one of the oldest kilns in Japan, they make bonsai pots in Tokoname from Matsushita Masuhisa, father of Matsushita Masuo (Zenigo), they produced pots by hand. The term Zenigo is possibly a bad transcription being more correct Senshirinsei, although in Europe the use of the name Zenigo was generalized.
