I have a cork bark Japanese black pine in a glazed Vietnamese container. I did this for several reasons, but among them was this: I have a book called Artistic Potted Plants. The author was a Hong Kong banker who amassed a huge collection of penjing. He had many cork bark Japanese black pines, and some were potted in glazed Chinese fishbowl containers. I have written about this book elsewhere on BonsaiNut. So, this is what my tree looks like now.

I hasten to add that when I toured the gardens around the Emperor's palace in Tokyo, the guide explained that the Emperor who moved the capital from Kyoto to Tokyo specified evergreens as the predominant planting. He could have had anything but chose evergreens because they remained the same year round, were unobtrusive, but could be magnificent. Though I have no proof of this, my feeling is that bonsai masters must have taken their cue from this. They planted evergreens in unglazed pots--unobtrusive, earthy and humble.
And that's why my Ondae, above, is in a glazed pot. In this, I followed the Chinese.
I found the book I mentioned above: Man Lung Artistic Pot Plants, Second Edition published in 1974. The cork bark pine I mentioned in particular is on page 271, in the color section.
