A nice Kashima, needs a trimming this year, and a little wiring to bring the lowest branches down a bit. Perhaps some guy wires as it is impossible to get the wires in the dense canopy. The pot is a nice pot, but just not the right pot for this tree. I have a nice one by Sara Raynor that might do the trick. It needs replanting this year. I missed it last year as the buds just got out ahead of me. I did notice a post on Walter Pall's blog where he stated that you can repot immediately after buds have popped. Doh, wish I had known that last year!

It is a wonderful Erin Pot but as you said it isn't right for this tree.
I think the main problem is the size. The Bonsai gets totally lost in such a large pot. Go for something smaller.
When do you plan to repot your trees? In the UK we are all repotting now.
Very soon indeed. It is always an issue finding time to work on the trees and finding time to spend with the wife and kids. The buds are swelling this one and I hope to repot this weekend. I will repost after potting and wiring.
