The pot is executed in warm, iron-rich Tokoname clay (鉄分を含む常滑土), fired to an earthy brown tone with subtle kiln variation and a soft, tactile surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1290\" data-start=\"845\"\u003eEach panel features expressive hand-carved crab imagery (蟹彫文), rendered in deep relief with strong movement and excellent depth. The carving is deliberately irregular, with textured ground areas and sharply defined claws and body segments, giving the pot a lively, almost narrative quality. The contrast between the smooth rim, the groggy clay texture (砂目のある土味), and the darker recessed carving creates visual tension and depth from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1725\" data-start=\"1292\"\u003eThe rim is gently flared with a defined lip (口縁), lending the pot a grounded, stable presence while maintaining refinement. A subtle lower basal band (下帯) transitions cleanly into the feet. The feet are short, stepped, and sculpted (段付き足), evenly spaced to provide both visual balance and structural stability. Over time, the unglazed surface will develop a rich patina (経年変化), enhancing the piece's character and individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2081\" data-start=\"1727\"\u003eThe interior is smoothly finished with a central drainage hole and additional wiring holes (水抜き穴・針金通し穴), ensuring excellent functionality for bonsai use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2081\" data-start=\"1727\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2167\" data-start=\"2083\"\u003eExternal dimensions: 10.8 × 9.7 × 5.5 cm\u003cbr data-end=\"2126\" data-start=\"2123\"\u003eInternal dimensions: 8.5 × 7.7 × 4.4 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2221\" data-start=\"2169\"\u003eFree Shipping to UK Mainland\u003cbr data-end=\"2200\" data-start=\"2197\"\u003eCondition: Excellent!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sugi Bonsai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56335181775179,"sku":"@pS98 m1196727323 124","price":163.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/4259\/4379\/files\/IMG_9494.jpg?v=1768846176","url":"https:\/\/sugibonsai.com\/products\/sea-crab-relief-with-hexagonal-legs-by-shinobu-amemiya-width-11cm","provider":"Sugi Bonsai","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
