Description

Jun Isazaki is a living national treasure of Bizen ware. (The fifth person to receive this designation for Bizen ware)
He fires his work in a long, tunnel-shaped kiln called an "anagama".
The flame is blown into the back of the anagama kiln continuously.
The fired pieces feature brown or white gradations against a bright red background.
The clay used in this work contains a large amount of sand.
A large stone is embedded in the lower front of the piece.
The carefully carved stones create an intriguing focal point, like the navel of the work.
