Handmade Yachimun Pottery
Complementing the plant showcase, the event will also feature special ceramic pots crafted by the renowned Okinawan potter, Hiroshi Kinjyo. Known for his Yachimun pottery, each piece is imbued with a piece of Okinawa's spirit and culture, featuring local dialect names such as “Yui G” and “Kari G”. These pots, of manageable sizes, will present a beautiful way to display your new plants and bring a touch of Okinawan heritage into your home.
The showcased plants, aged from 1 to 10 years, have been nurtured under the intense rays of the Okinawan sun, allowing them to thrive and become the unique specimens they are. Along with these vibrant plants, the Yachimun pots promise to enrich their natural beauty.
