Izawa Seito
The company 'Izawa Seito' creates unglazed pots in Hekinan City, Aichi Prefecture. Unglazed pots have superior air permeability and moisture control. These “breathing pots” are particularly required by indoor plants separated from their natural environment. We have attempted to make an appropriately shaped pot suited to modern living environments.

UFO Pot
Conventional hanging pots are constructed in a shape that allows placement on surfaces, so it had to be decided how to hang a pot created on the premise of being placed on something. Deciding on a pot that was not meant to be placed anywhere, but to be hung indoors, provided more freedom for creativity. After searching for a shape that satisfied various conditions for pot hanging such as allowing the sense of floating to be enjoyed, imparting a sense of stability even in the air, and presenting the plant in a more aesthetically pleasing manner, the flat silhouette-shaped UFO Pot was born.

About the clay / Tokoname
The red soil used for “Tokoname-Yaki,” which you are familiar with from its use in teapots and teacups, is baked at a high temperature, thereby refining and smoothening its texture. Like a vessel that enhances the appearance of the food, this pot brings out the beauty of your plants.
