NAGINOWA: Japanese bonsai pots shipped from Japan

Shopping at NAGINOWA? See all current NAGINOWA promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

NAGINOWA is a small business in Tokyo that sells Japanese bonsai pots, gardening tools and other traditional crafts online. Its pots come from well-known pottery towns, with Banko ware, Tokoname ware and Shigaraki ware all named on the homepage, and every order ships straight from Japan.

It suits bonsai growers who want a handmade Japanese pot rather than a mass-produced one, and anyone looking for a thoughtful gift for a keen gardener. The prices are shown in US dollars, and the homepage says all taxes and customs duties are included, so there's no surprise bill when the parcel arrives. Deliveries generally take 3 to 7 business days, and NAGINOWA says it will reimburse in full any damage that happens in transit.

NAGINOWA has been sharing Japanese craftsmanship for several years, and its homepage regularly announces new arrivals, such as a recent batch of Tokoname-yaki pots. It has also opened a sister store called COTOWAKU. Because many of the pots are handmade, each listing has its own photos, so you can see the glaze and shape of the pot you'll actually receive.

What's worth a look

These six were on the NAGINOWA homepage at the prices shown when we checked:

Banko ware, from Mie Prefecture, makes up most of the selection. The Naginowa Namako longhorn pot at $41.30 is the smallest and lowest-priced of the six, at 5.3 inches, and the Naginowa Black Deep rounded pot at $55.70 is a deeper shape for trees that need more root room. The Beader pot at $62.30 adds a beaded detail to the glaze.

For something more special, the Naginowa Gold round shape pot at $96.40 has a gold glaze, and the Gold Blue Circle Shallow pot at $358.50 is a showpiece for a finished tree. If you prefer Tokoname ware, the Eimei round pot with legs at $85 is a small 4.6-inch pot on feet.

Sizes are given in inches in each name, which makes it easy to match a pot to the tree you already have.

Current offers

We don't have a NAGINOWA code on our page at the moment. The shop's own perks are generous, though: free shipping on orders over $250, taxes and duties included on every order, and a complimentary gift included with your order. Prices on the homepage were full price when we checked, with no markdowns on the pots we picked.

How to save more

• Group pots into one order. Free shipping starts at $250, so two or three mid-priced pots together can save the shipping cost.
• Measure before you buy. Each pot's size in inches is in its name, so check it against your tree and its roots.
• Start small. The smaller Banko pots are an inexpensive way to try handmade Japanese pottery.
