*Currently out of stock, please contact us at shop@wagumi-j.com if you would like to pre-order this product* Hand soldered and hand crafted in Tokyo, each one of these watering cans is the product of an individual’s labour. The individuals in question are members of the Negishi family and their small company (total staff = 3) in the Sumida area of the capital. The family business originally specialised in metalwork used on the roof of shrines, but moved into garden-ware in the 1960s to accommodate demand for high quality implements for bonsai. The Negishi watering cans then and now have a special status among bonsai practitioners. The fall of the water from their nozzles has the feeling of rain.
