Description

Jun Isazaki is a living national treasure of Bizen ware. (The fifth person to receive this designation for Bizen ware)
He fires his pieces in a long, tunnel-shaped kiln called an "anagama".
The flame is fed into the back of the anagama kiln continuously.
The fired pieces develop brown or white gradations against a bright red background.
He wrapped rice straw around his work before firing it.
The color and shape of the rice straw vary across the piece due to the effects of the natural ash glaze.
This new work was fired in June 2023.
