DESIGN A LIVING SCENE
The art of Penjing design predates Japanese Bonsai by two millennia. Chinese scholars engineered the "potted scene" as a sophisticated tray landscape.
​
Bonsai is the portrait of a tree. Penjing is the architecture of an ecosystem, a storytelling diorama documenting the synergy between humanity and the natural world.
​
Our evolution of the artform integrates the landscape directly into the vessel. Every peak, path, and building is sculpted into the ceramic diorama. This provides the foundation for a unique creative collaboration. The vessel provides the structure; you and nature bring the world to life.​
In our commitment to Making life better through art, science 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.
Art, Science and Nature combined to make life better.

Your aquarium can offer an endless variety of aquascape design possibilities. Change up your layout with ceramic planting vessels engineered with a deep porous texture to foster Beneficial Bacteria and become Living Vessels.
​
This marks the introduction of Tsubo Style, a modular approach to design where the aquascape is no longer static, but a responsive hardscape that evolves alongside the life it supports.
Discover how mobile planting vessels allow for Observational Embellishment. Reposition them during each water change and watch how animals respond with inquisitive exploration as they navigate a realistically changing environment.
