I subscribe to emails from Jonas Dupuich at Bonsai Tonight and enjoyed seeing this today. It's about the pottery of Nao Tokutake. The photos say it all.



The bonsai pottery of Nao Tokutake

By Jonas Dupuich

One of the highlights of attending the U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition, held every other year in Rochester, New York, is meeting and catching up with people from across the bonsai community.

As luck would have it, Andrew Robson introduced me to Portland ceramicist Nao Tokutake at this year's event. Nao toured the exhibition with Andrew and me and then sat down with us to record an episode for the Bonsai Wire Podcast.

One of Nao's pots was on display at the exhibit. It was a modern take on a bag shape that accompanied Dennis Vojtilla's award-winning Washington Hawthorn (see the tree here).

You can learn more about Nao's work at tokutakebonsai.com.

He has the goods but I don't have a tree that deserve to live in it. Sad!
