G'day mate - another possible avenue could be Megumi Bennet's place in Terrey Hills - BonsaiArt?

She has brought shipments of Tokoname pots in the past and probably still does.

Cheers,
Leigh.

I think it's the other one that is closing down KC. I always get the names confused so I won't tell Leigh he has named it wrong :lol:
I think Lee's place is called Bonsai Artist Tree.
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

They are just my own collection Ben, I dont have any for sale - but I am quite happy to suggest other nurseries that might have them.

Isn't Megumi's place called Bonsai Art? Or is it Imperial Bonsai Nursery?

I hope I am not confusing any one, as that is not my intention.

Cheers,
Leigh.
