Old Kuromatsu and Tokoname Pot come together.

This old Kuromatsu was a generous gift from a very accomplished bonsai artist many years ago. Ian Hearn is probably one of the best black Pine bonsai growers in Australia and I was privileged to have been gifted this tree after it had been developed and shaped by Ian more than 10 years ago.

This bonsai had started from seed in 1970 and now has been re-potted into a pot that will do it justice.... an old Tokoname pot from the Yamayuki Kiln, by Kiyohiro Yamamoto.
