Hozan Kiln Hidasuki Bizen Ware Hanging Flower Vase
Elevate your interior with the enchanting allure of this Bizen ware hanging vase. Designed to hang gracefully in spaces, it speaks of serenity and respect for nature.
Inspired from the kake hanaire vase, a traditional Japanese flower vase designed to be hung in ceremonial tea rooms, this type of vase embodies the tea ceremony's values of harmony and tranquility through its elegant and thoughtful placement.
The coarse texture, exquisite colors and patterns known as hidasuki is created by wrapping each item in straw and placing it in the kiln with a cover called a saya, and fired in a place away from direct heat. Light brown in color throughout and scarlet in the areas where the straw is wrapped, the contrast between the vivid colors make the hidasuki one of the popular styles of Bizen ware.
A beautiful item to decorate a room with seasonal flowers, it can be hung from a wall or column but can also be placed on a tabletop to decorate with its artistic fired patterns.
Bizen ware is a traditional stoneware produced in the Imbe area of Okayama Prefecture. It is one of the oldest ceramics in Japan, and is made using the yakishime technique, in which pieces are fired at high temperatures without glaze to make them durable and water-resistant.
Hozan Kiln is a long-established Bizen pottery kiln located in Imbe, Bizen City, the hometown of Bizen ware. For Bizen ware, there were six families that had been under the protection of the shogunate (government) since the 17th century. Hozan Kiln is known as one of them and continues to this day as the legitimate successor of Bizen ware.
