Hozan Kiln Sangiri Bizen Ware Donburi Bowl L
This Hozan Kiln large bowl is symbolic of the earthy texture and color of Bizen Ware.
The coarse texture, exquisite colors and patterns produced by the kiln's flames is a remarkable example of Bizen Ware, "the art of clay and fire."
The red clay shows natural variations in dark and lighter shades. One can feel the robust and earthy metallic texture, and be captivated by its natural beauty. The rim shows natural patterns of white and gray dust, which are ashes melting into the clay, an exquisite characteristic of 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.
Hozan Kiln is a long-established Bizen Ware kiln located in Imbe, Bizen City. In the 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.
Ideal for Donburi rice, salad, appetizers such as Sunomono(vinegared food), Aemono(seasoned or sauced food) or Nimono(simmered food), fruit.
