About the artist:
Nao Tokutake is a talented Hillsboro, Oregon based bonsai ceramicist and bonsai artist. Nao produced the ceramic for the 2021 U.S. National's Best Deciduous tree, the ceramic for the Director's Award at the 2024 Pacific Bonsai Expo, and his ceramics are also featured in public collections including the Pacific Bonsai Museum. Nao's ceramic work is also sought after by notable bonsai professionals such as Ryan Neil, Andrew Robson, and Todd Schlafer.

Nao did a very similar program with the Pacific Bonsai Museum here in Seattle. I greatly enjoyed it, and it is well remembered by all the donors I have talked to in my time as a docent.

Maybe next time we’ll be as lucky to get pots for sale as well!
