Under stronger light, olive and green undertones become considerably more apparent, while softer illumination returns the pot toward a more subdued grey.

His work drew upon the proportions, clay surfaces and restrained strength of antique Chinese vessels while interpreting them through a distinctly Japanese aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClay was fundamental to his approach. Syu-Zan experimented with blended clay bodies, including Chinese and Japanese materials, in pursuit of the colour, texture and natural surface quality found in antique containers.

The body swells softly like a gathered bag, rising to a clearly defined rim (口縁) that gives the pot a strong, finished presence. Encircling the lower body is a continuous rivet-like relief band (鋲文様), forming a decorative basal band that adds texture, rhythm, and a sense of weight and stability. The underside is finished with three applied sculpted feet (貼足), robust and neatly formed, lifting the pot while maintaining excellent balance. Drainage and wiring holes (水抜き穴・針金穴) are cleanly executed and well positioned for practical bonsai use.
