Tokoname Pot Questions
Quick questions if anyone knows the answer. I have tokoname pots that only have signature's on the bottom. I also have tokoname pots that only have a chop mark on the bottom. Then there are some of my tokoname pots that have both a chop mark and a signature on the bottom. Does anyone know why this happens? is it just the individual potters preference? Does it mean one is of a higher quality than the other? I know they have what is considered exhibition quality, I don't know if that plays a part. Just curious, any info would be great.

The Japanese aesthetic is centred on the principle of "heaven and earth in one container", as a Japanese cliché has it. Three forces come together in a good bonsai: shin-zen-bi or truth, essence and beauty.
