A pronounced \u003cstrong\u003eoutward-projecting lip（外縁 – soto-beri）\u003c\/strong\u003e extends beyond the body and is finished along its outermost edge with a \u003cstrong\u003edelicate raised border（縁取り – fuchidori）\u003c\/strong\u003e. This subtle raised line creates a crisp finishing detail around the entire perimeter and adds refinement to the otherwise substantial rectangular form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImmediately beneath the lip, the walls flare gently outward（外反り）, creating an elegant transition between the body（胴 – do）and the wider upper profile. This combination gives the pot considerable visual strength while retaining the restrained character associated with traditional Japanese bonsai containers（和鉢）.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pot has \u003cstrong\u003estrongly defined, sharp rectangular corners（角の立った長方形）\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating a crisp and architectural silhouette. These angular corners work particularly well with the broad projecting lip and its fine raised border, giving the vessel a powerful but controlled sense of \u003cstrong\u003e力強さ（chikarazuyosa – strength）\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e品格（hinkaku – dignity）\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning around the lower section is a clearly defined \u003cstrong\u003ebasal band（腰帯 – koshi-obi）\u003c\/strong\u003e. This horizontal detail creates a strong visual transition between the main body and the base, grounding the pot and contributing to its excellent \u003cstrong\u003e安定感（anteikan – stability and balance）\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pot is supported by \u003cstrong\u003efour recessed cut corner feet（四方切足）\u003c\/strong\u003e. These are not stepped feet; each foot is cut and positioned directly beneath the corresponding corner, following the geometry of the rectangular form. Their low, broad construction keeps them visually discreet while providing a stable and substantial stance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unglazed clay（無釉土 – muyu-tsuchi）has a warm chocolate-brown colouration （茶褐色）, with a fine granular surface texture that gives the pot excellent \u003cstrong\u003e土味（tsuchi-aji – character of the clay）\u003c\/strong\u003e. Subtle tonal variation across the fired surface adds depth while preserving the restrained Japanese aesthetic of \u003cstrong\u003e渋み（shibumi – understated refinement）\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternally, the pot provides a generous and practical planting area（植込部）, with a deep profile suitable for an established bonsai requiring both root volume and visual strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base incorporates \u003cstrong\u003etwo substantial drainage holes（排水穴 – haisui-ana）\u003c\/strong\u003e together with \u003cstrong\u003efour smaller wiring holes（針金穴 – harigane-ana）\u003c\/strong\u003e, carefully positioned to provide effective drainage（排水性）and secure anchoring of the bonsai（樹木固定）. This practical arrangement reflects the functional craftsmanship expected of a substantial Tokoname container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe underside（鉢底 – hachizoko）carries a clearly impressed \u003cstrong\u003esquare maker's seal（角印 – kakuin）\u003c\/strong\u003e, identifying the work as \u003cstrong\u003eKISEN \/ Kinsen Ikkodou 喜泉 壱光堂\u003c\/strong\u003e. The crisp impressed mark（押印）adds an important point of authenticity and collector interest（収集価値）.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, this is a beautifully proportioned large Tokoname bonsai pot combining the strength of a traditional \u003cstrong\u003e長方鉢\u003c\/strong\u003e, the elegance of its flared walls（外反り）, the refined projecting \u003cstrong\u003e外縁\u003c\/strong\u003e with delicate \u003cstrong\u003e縁取り\u003c\/strong\u003e, the grounding effect of the \u003cstrong\u003e腰帯\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the architectural precision of the recessed \u003cstrong\u003e切足\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a pot with an excellent sense of \u003cstrong\u003e造形美（zokei-bi – beauty of form）\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e実用性（jitsuyosei – functionality）\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e調和（chowa – harmony）\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e安定感（anteikan）\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts strong rectangular form and understated unglazed clay would pair particularly well with mature conifers such as \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Black Pine（黒松 – kuromatsu）\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese White Pine（五葉松 – goyomatsu）\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003eShimpaku Juniper（真柏 – shimpaku）\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as substantial deciduous bonsai（雑木盆栽）requiring a strong but restrained container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Dimensions \/ 外寸:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40.5 × 30.1 × 11.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Dimensions \/ 内寸:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34.6 × 24.3 × 9.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \/ 状態:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent! \/ \u003cstrong\u003e極めて良好\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree Shipping to UK Mainland \/ 英国本土送料無料\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sugi Bonsai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58200990089547,"sku":"t1189872460   56","price":226.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/4259\/4379\/files\/IMG_6032_b47f6d14-2a3e-4fe3-be29-a5d06a5f06b2.jpg?v=1787348195","url":"https:\/\/sugibonsai.com\/products\/kisen-kinsen-ikkodou-%e5%96%9c%e6%b3%89-%e5%a3%b1%e5%85%89%e5%a0%82-%e5%b8%b8%e6%bb%91-40-5cm-rectangular-%e9%95%b7%e6%96%b9%e9%89%a2-unglazed-%e7%84%a1%e9%87%89","provider":"Sugi Bonsai","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
