Tea Notes
What is Bizenware?
Bizenware is a form of unglazed Japanese pottery only found in Imbe, Bizen.
Nearly every aspect of Bizen is wholly unique from other forms of ceramic arts.
Only clay from dug from a depth of 3-5 meters under local Bizen ricefields are used.
The clay is left to age from 2 to 30 years.
The pottery is made by the same generations of pottery families with a 1,000-year history and is one of the 5 oldest kilns in Japan.
Firing occurs 1-2 times a year and takes over 14 days to complete using over 10 tons of Japanese Red Pine.
The varied colors and natural “glaze” are the results of chemical changes during the firing.
Bizen has produced more Japanese living treasures than any other Ceramic art form.
