Kuro Yotsuashi—meaning "Black Four-Legs"—is the most architectural member of the collection. Stepping away from the tripod base, this oval planter is supported by four robust, hand-carved legs that provide a wider, more authoritative stance. Crafted from the signature midnight-black clay, the vessel features deep vertical incisions that create a rugged, bark-like exterior, allowing the glaze to pool and break in complex, organic patterns. 

The addition of the fourth leg offers enhanced stability for bonsai with more dramatic, asymmetrical leans or heavier foliage. The mossy greens and toasted ambers of the glaze flow over the carved ridges, making the planter look less like a ceramic object and more like a fragment of an ancient, petrified tree. It is a formidable sanctuary designed for those who seek a planter with a grounded, permanent presence.
