Bizen-yaki

is a traditional unglazed pottery from Okayama, Japan, with over 1,000 years of history and is one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns. Fired for many days in wood-fueled kilns, the clay develops natural patterns such as hidasuki, goma, and sangiri, created entirely by fire and ash. Its earthy character, durability, and unique beauty make every piece a singular work shaped by nature and craftsmanship.
