Hidasuki Hanging Flower Vase

Elevate your interior with the enchanting allure of this Bizen ware hanging flower vase. Designed to hang gracefully in spaces, it speaks of serenity and respect for nature. 

Inspired by 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 are 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 makes 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. 

Hozan Kiln

Hozan Kiln is a long-established Bizen ware kiln. Located in Imbe, Bizen City, the hometown of Bizen ware, Hozan Kiln is directly descended from the Six Families of Bizen ware potters. For centuries, it has continuously produced masterpieces of tea ceremony utensils, sake cups, and art pieces. The oldest-known piece to bear the fan-shaped ceramic stamp, or brand mark, the kiln still uses today is a large jar dating to the 16th century.

Bizen Ware

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.

Bizen ware is called "the art of clay and fire" for the exquisite colors and patterns produced by the kiln's flames, and is characterized by its minimalist, wabi sabi design.
