This rectangular form features a softly rounded rim with an internal lip (内縁 uchibuchi), lending both visual depth and practical strength. The walls taper gently downward, creating a calm and balanced silhouette that is well suited to shohin and small chuhin bonsai compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"818\" data-end=\"1235\"\u003eThe pot is finished in a beautiful blue glazed surface, with subtle tonal variation and kiln character throughout. The glaze pools slightly toward the lower body, developing darker, richer hues near the corners and seams, while the upper areas remain lighter and more translucent. Over time, the surface has developed an attractive natural patina 経年変化, enhancing its depth and giving the pot a quiet, mature presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1763\"\u003eThe pot is supported on neatly formed stepped feet 段足 (dan-ashi), carefully proportioned to lift the body just enough to create lightness and airflow beneath the vessel while maintaining excellent stability. The base is well finished, with two generous drainage holes and additional wiring holes 穴, making it fully functional for serious bonsai cultivation. The overall balance between form, glaze, and proportion creates a strong yet understated aesthetic, embodying the Tokoname tradition of uniting beauty and practicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"1938\"\u003eThis pot conveys a sense of harmony 調和 and restrained elegance, allowing the bonsai to take center stage while subtly supporting the tree’s character and “worldview” 盆栽の世界観.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1940\" data-end=\"2034\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1940\" data-end=\"1964\"\u003eExternal dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.7 × 11.2 × 4.4 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"1988\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1988\" data-end=\"2012\"\u003eInternal dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.0 × 9.5 × 3.0 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2111\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2050\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent.\u003cbr data-start=\"2061\" data-end=\"2064\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2064\" data-end=\"2077\"\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free shipping within UK Mainland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sugi Bonsai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56335753347403,"sku":"@pA111 u1105752754  45","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/4259\/4379\/files\/IMG_9523.jpg?v=1768852209","url":"https:\/\/sugibonsai.com\/products\/yamafusa-s-wife-hoshu-otorifune-%e5%ae%9d%e8%88%9f-%e5%b8%b8%e6%bb%91-13-7cm-rectangular-blue-glazed-bonsai-pot","provider":"Sugi Bonsai","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
