Here are a few pots that I have purchased recently, for sure the skill of kusamono potters in the West is getting better year on year. Pots from these potters can be purchased at Bonsai Europa 2017 even though the pots are beautiful, they reach a higher level of beauty when the best plant is paired with… Continue reading Beautiful Pots and Kusamono
