This Bonsai comes in a unique pot with a matching plate made of ceramic material. This pot is designed to drain excess water through the drainage holes on the bottom. The tree and pot together form the 'Bon-sai', which comes from Japanese and means tree in pot.

“During my time traveling through Hokkaido, I got the opportunity to read the Hakogare, a famous Samurai handbook. The Hokkaido dates back to the mid-seventeenth century. The book told me a story about Yagyu-Tajima-no-Kami, a great teacher in the art to Tokugawa Iemitsu. One day, the personal guard of Iemitsu’s visited Yagyu Sensei seeking instruction in the art of swordsmanship. The story tells how Yagyu declined to give the guard technical training, as the sensei realised that the guard did not fear death. A fear that the guard had overcome through true passion and dedication. The ultimate secrets of swordsmanship lie in being released the preoccupation of death. All the sensei could teach him, was already mastered by the guard.”
