Bizen

Bizen is a traditional Japanese pottery style from Okayama Prefecture, known for its unglazed, earthy appearance and natural reactions during firing. Crafted from a specific clay, Bizen ware is fired at high temperatures in a wood-burning kiln without glaze, resulting in unique textures, subtle color variations, and patterns caused by ash and flames. Its rustic beauty emphasizes simplicity, naturalness, and the skill of the potter. Bizen artworks are highly valued for their organic aesthetic, durability, and the fascinating, unpredictable effects created during the firing process.
