Hozan Kiln Botamochi Bizen Ware Square Plate

USD $84

Only 7 pieces in stock!

The Hozan Kiln square plate is symbolic of the earthy texture and color of Bizen Ware. 

The word "botamochi" used in the name of the product is the name of a round-shaped  Japanese confectionary and is also the name of one of the classic patterns on Bizen ware pieces.

This pattern is created by inserting round pieces of refractory clay between each plate before being fired in the kiln. After firing at a high temperature, distinctive round shapes in various colors from red to brown are made on the spots that were covered. Each plate has a slightly different round pattern and a different color which makes each piece a unique work or art. 

The plate is thick and sturdy with differing textures on the left side and the right. The plate goes especially well with sushi and sashimi. You can also use it to plate grilled meat or fish garnished with fresh vegetables. It is also ideal for serving small appetizers. The natural colors make it suitable not only for Japanese cuisine, but also for a variety of other dishes.

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 Inbe, 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.
