The rusticity of \u003cem\u003eBizen-yaki\u003c\/em\u003e has been appreciated for centuries for its \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ewabi sabi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e nature: unique, austere, imperfect, gaining charm and beauty with time and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the ancient cave kiln, pine tree ash flies and sticks to the clay, adding a natural glaze to the surface. The glossy and granulated ochre accent is named \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003egoma\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e (胡麻, lit. “sesame seeds”) and is a distinctive feature of \u003cem\u003eBizen-yaki\u003c\/em\u003e. The lower part of the vase features the enigmatic motif called \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003esangiri \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e(桟切り). During reduction firing, the flow of air may be obstructed, and the embers fall on the pottery. The chemical reaction between the iron contained in the clay and the carbon from the embers give birth to exquisite natural glaze nuances, from gunmetal grey to blue, and even white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose a Vase from Bizen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBizen-yaki\u003c\/em\u003e (備前焼) is a type of pottery created in the city of Bizen, in Okayama prefecture. Bizen is one of\u003cstrong\u003e Japan's Six Ancient Kilns \u003c\/strong\u003eand the development of these kilns and techniques have been carefully preserved, representing a vital contribution to Japan’s traditional arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 16\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century, \u003cem\u003eBizen-yaki\u003c\/em\u003e gained the favor of Sen no Rikyu, the famous master of the tea ceremony, for its \u003cem\u003ewabi sabi\u003c\/em\u003e aesthetics. This notion of \u003cem\u003ewabi sabi\u003c\/em\u003e is a key concept in Japanese sensibility: \u003cstrong\u003ethe appreciation of the ephemeral beauty of an imperfect object\u003c\/strong\u003e, which becomes more beautiful as time passes, and consequently acquires its own charm and an untranslatable idea of serenity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with Bizen clay requires master craftsmanship to shape the wares and position them expertly inside the anagama climbing kiln. During the long wood-firing process, the artisans don’t touch the wares, so it takes years of experience to know how to place the ceramics in the kiln to achieve the greatest outcome. The final appearance of each piece is not entirely predictable, making every dish or flower vase \u003cstrong\u003ewholly original and unique\u003c\/strong\u003e. Making Bizen pottery is so arduous that most kilns only do a firing once or twice a year, or even less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vase is handcrafted by ceramic artist Toshiaki Mori at the \u003cstrong\u003eHozan Kiln\u003c\/strong\u003e in the town of Bizen.
