Google Translate continues to delight and bemuse. Where is the "mono" in 極傾奇?
(極 here, I believe is a prefix used much like 超)

Ooops, you beat me! undrentide-san.
I agree with "read from right to left."

Thank you. I was unsure which characters they were since they do not line up exactly. I really appreciate your help though. Thank you very much.
Babelfish says "The bottom keeps the fresh air in the world", but if you reverse the order it becomes "The human was being mad that leaves a stub clear".
Now I need someone to explain the significance of the saying.
You all have been very helpful. Thank you again for taking time to help me. It is very nice.
It makes the most sense to me since it is a bonsai pot, that the correct translation is "The human was being mad that leaves a stub clear." It is not an exact translation I'm sure, but that is my guess.
I got one opinion that it means "the pure air / spirits should definitely be kept in the world." Interesting that when I check on 人間 I got this quote, from a Ming dynasty poem: 要留清白在人間 。It's pretty much the same thing, about leaving purity in the world. 人間 in Chinese seems to mean 世間 or 世の中.
It is read from right to left.
人間 means The whole world, or all of mankind. I have a Chinese friend at school who told me that.
氣清 These two together mean noble or very good.
底 means bottom.
Another friend told me it means "The clarity between men is like the clarity in the bottom of this pot."
