The rectangular form is well balanced and confident, with softly rounded corners and a gently thickened rim that gives the pot a composed, architectural presence suitable for refined bonsai display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1817\" data-end=\"2222\"\u003eThe exterior is richly hand-carved (chokoku) with a continuous decorative program that flows around the entire body. Motifs include a dynamic dragon (ryu) emerging through stylized clouds (kumo) and waves (nami), together with finely carved woven textile patterns (ami-mon). These elements are integrated directly into the clay body, creating depth, rhythm, and visual movement when viewed from all sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2224\" data-end=\"2657\"\u003eThe surface finish is natural and matte, showing subtle tonal variation from the oxidation firing, which enhances the clarity of the carving without distraction. The walls transition smoothly into molded cloud-form feet (kumo-ashi), lifting the pot lightly while reinforcing the symbolic language of the decoration. The overall impression is cohesive and intentional, with form and ornament working together as a unified composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2659\" data-end=\"2913\"\u003eThe base bears the impressed Arashiyama seal together with an incised signature, confirming authorship. Drainage and wiring holes (mizunuke-ana and shibari-ana) are cleanly formed and well positioned, ensuring full functionality for practical bonsai use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2915\" data-end=\"3000\"\u003eExternal dimensions: 12.7 x 10.6 x 4.7 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"2956\" data-end=\"2959\"\u003eInternal dimensions: 9.7 x 7.8 x 3.0 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3002\" data-end=\"3018\"\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sugi Bonsai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56314097959243,"sku":"@Pss1196799552   114","price":244.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/4259\/4379\/files\/IMG_9312_512497ee-3903-4341-ad2f-3158226b8901.jpg?v=1768511222","url":"https:\/\/sugibonsai.com\/products\/dragon","provider":"Sugi Bonsai","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
