"Let's put each local plant in a tiny MAME BONSAI POT and love them for a long time."
In 2009, I began making bonsai pots under the guidance of the late Issou Munakata and have been working hard to improve my skills in glazed pots, overglazed pots, underglazed pots, and unglazed pots, specializing in tiny MAME BONSAI pots.
At the same time, I learned bonsai from Kenzo Tsuchiya, a master of tiny MAME BONSAI and vice president of the Japan Shohin Bonsai Association.
After serving as a board member of the Japan Shohin Bonsai Association and branch manager of the Tokyo branch, I am currently active as a Bonsai/Bonsai Pot Artist. My method of making bonsai is HASAMI-TSUKURI. It is an old-fashioned way of making bonsai that avoids shaping with wire as much as possible.
