This may sound crazy but based on JB Weld website and thorough research I found this product to be effective but I need some additional advice. I repaired the first time I used JB WELD EXPOXY but it seem like I used the wrong product. I want to repair once more but this time use JB WATERWELD. Have anyone ever did a repair like this way before to repair their favorite Japanese pot? Please see pictures and let me know I'm going crazy about this idea.

You're going crazy. You will never repair that pot so that it is even a pale shadow of what it looked like new. Worse, you will always know the repair is there... even if you somehow disguise the front.
My suggestion is to not waste any money on glues/cements, and simply get a new one.

You can also ask a potter to apply a low firing clear glaze or
what is called a complete frit.
Support shape and fire the glaze or frit to it's complete
maturation,. temperature wise.
Otherwise we just use Gorilla Glue and accept the appearance.

JB Weld is some powerful stuff. Other, non-water versions have much more holding strength (PSI rating). I've no doubt that it will hold your pot together.
The problem is the setting time and the need to hold all the pieces tightly together while it sets. Don't know how you'd go about that. I think an instant glue like Crazy Glue might make that easier. You could then go over the crack on the inside of the pot with the JB Weld to add strength.
Nice tree.

I did something similar with a pot that was broken. Based on its monetary value, it probably didn't warrant the effort, but it had some sentimental value so I figured I'd try it. There were a couple small areas that were missing, but I was able to build it up and fill in the gaps so that it was whole again. I also didn't try to hide the fact that it was repaired, mixing gold powder with the epoxy for a poor-man's kintsugi repair. That said, you're missing some pretty substantial chunks.

If you love the pot, really love the pot, don't buy another one...

Remember, it doesn't have to be real gold.
