A type of Japanese stoneware pottery known for its rustic, unglazed appearance and warm, earthy colors, traditionally made in Bizen Province.
Named after Bizen Province in Japan (modern-day Okayama Prefecture), one of the Six Ancient Kilns. The pottery tradition dates back over 1,000 years and developed from Sue ware pottery.
Bizen pottery is prized for its 'flaws'—the unpredictable natural color variations and flame marks from the kiln are what make each piece unique and valuable, opposite of industrial perfection!
