PENJING
RISING
2000 YEARS BEFORE BONSAI
Two millennia before the first Bonsai was styled in Japan, Chinese scholars were already engineering the "potted scene" with elaborate tray landscapes.
While a Bonsai is the portrait of a single tree, Penjing is the architecture of the ecosystem—a storytelling diorama capturing the enduring synergy between humanity and the natural world.
In our commitment to making life better through art and nature, Studio Tsubo invites you into a unique creative collaboration. Our studio provides the sculpted foundation; you and nature bring the world to life.
Explore the gallery to discover our evolution of the artform: Fully integrated Penjing landscapes where every village, path, and peak is sculpted directly into the vessel itself.

PENJING
Penjing Rising explores the terrestrial; now, enter the aquatic and navigate an endless riverbed. While the biome shifts, the underlying biological engine remains constant.
Unglazed, porous ceramic, engineered with texture to foster microbial life and facilitate continuous biological flow.
This transition marks the introduction of Tsubo Style—a modular approach to habitat design where the landscape is no longer a static hypothesis, but a responsive architecture that evolves alongside the life it supports.
