Sangiri Donburi Bowl L

This large donburi bowl embodies the earthy textures and natural colors typical of Bizen ware. Its rough surface and stunning patterns, created by the kiln’s flames, highlight the "art of clay and fire." The unglazed red clay, adorned with natural ash markings, offers a rugged, metallic feel.

Bizen ware, one of Japan's oldest ceramics, is crafted in Okayama using the yakishime technique, which makes it durable and water-resistant.

The bowl is ideal for serving large portions of donburi or salads but can also be used for appetizers such as aemono (marinated dishes), seasoned or sauced vegetables, and nimono (simmered dishes). Additionally, it serves beautifully as a fruit bowl.

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 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.
