In this episode I caught up with Nao Tokutake, a Bonsai practitioner and container maker based in Portland, OR. Nao has been one of my favorite Bonsai pot makers in the US for a while now. However, after getting the opportunity to pick his brain about his Bonsai pot making process and philosophy I'm even more of a fan of his work! His dedication and passion to improve his craft seem second to none. I really enjoyed hearing how he is studying the classic Chinese and Japanese potters while adapting and innovating in his own studio here in the States.
