This piece is made in a strong square form, seihou-bachi（正方鉢）, with clean straight sides, sharp corner definition, and a deep, practical planting space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1191\" data-start=\"809\"\u003eThe pot is finished in unglazed Tokoname clay, muyu（無釉）, with a warm brown to grey-brown tone and a naturally textured surface. The clay shows excellent tsuchi-aji（土味）, with subtle firing variation, fine grain, and a mature-aged character, jidai-kan（時代感）. The overall impression is restrained, strong, and very shibui（渋い）, making it especially suitable for powerful bonsai material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1536\" data-start=\"1193\"\u003eThe body has a straight, architectural profile with a clean upper edge and firm square proportions. The lower section is neatly cut to form stable feet, kiri-ashi（切足）, giving the pot a grounded and balanced appearance. The corners are well defined, and the simple form allows the quality of the clay and craftsmanship to remain the main focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1941\" data-start=\"1538\"\u003eThe underside is carefully finished with drainage and wiring holes, including a central cluster of drainage openings, mizunuki-ana（水抜き穴）, and multiple wiring holes, harigane-ana（針金穴）, making the pot practical for bonsai cultivation. The base also shows the hand-signed nail-carved Gyouzan mark, tsumegaki-mei（爪描き銘）, an important detail for collectors and a strong indication of individual handmade work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2232\" data-start=\"1943\"\u003eA substantial and highly characterful Tokoname bonsai pot by first-generation Gyouzan, ideal for a mature bonsai requiring strength, restraint, and quiet authority. The square form, unglazed clay surface, and hand-signed base make this a particularly desirable collector-quality container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2327\" data-start=\"2234\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2258\" data-start=\"2234\"\u003eExternal dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30.2 x 30.0 x 9.0cm\u003cbr data-end=\"2281\" data-start=\"2278\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2305\" data-start=\"2281\"\u003eInternal dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27.0 x 26.9 x 7.4cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"2509\" data-start=\"2329\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2343\" data-start=\"2329\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent condition.
