What do you think of this optionAs I look at this tree, I see a relatively thin but elegant trunk with nice gentle movement along with beautiful deadwood at the base, so it has both masculine and feminine elements. My first thought would be a dark brown and relatively shallow oval or bag pot, but a rectangle with rounded corners might work as well. Either way, the pot shouldn't be elaborate. Nice tree!
Low flat simple oval or round, unglazed, dark brown or reddish brown is my call also.

How you propose the pot design be made "lighter"? Currently this pot size is Size 44 x 33 x 9 cm. Maybe a similar size but with smaller feet and less wall thicknessI like the color, but it feels like it may be too "heavy" for your tree. If the nebari/trunk were thicker I feel it would be a good fit.
Too masculine. Oval (including oval mokko) would be a better option.What do you think of this option
You're in the ball park. For some reason, I feel like a bag style pot...What do you think of this option
I don’t know where your rule for determining trunk placement came from, but based upon your virtual, the trunk appears to be too far over to the right.General guidelines would be a pot depth no more than 1.5 the diameter of the trunk at its widest... or it will feel too heavy.
Based on how you have it planted, draw a line down from the apex, and then visualize a space halfway between where that line meets the soil, and the base of the trunk. That will be the center of where you will plant it in the pot.
Current pot width is probably fine. You could go a little wider, but definitely not narrower.
