Dishware and tableware
Beschreibung
Bizen ware is a traditional Japanese pottery, recognized as one of the country's six ancient kilns, with a history spanning approximately 1,000 years. Characterized by its unique texture achieved through high-temperature, long-duration firing without the use of glaze, Bizen ware develops a richer patina the more it is used. As tableware, it enhances the beauty of dishes and brings warmth and sophistication to the dining experience.
The allure of Bizen ware lies in its natural hues and textures. The distinctive patterns and colors, known as "yohen," emerge from the effects of ash and flames during firing, ensuring that no two pieces are identical, thus elevating their value as unique works of art. Additionally, the "yakishime" technique, which involves firing without glaze, results in a simple yet profoundly expressive finish.
Moreover, Bizen ware's high-temperature firing process endows it with exceptional durability, making it ideal for everyday use. The more it is used, the more its character deepens, allowing users to enjoy the process of nurturing their own unique pieces over time.
These qualities have led to Bizen ware tableware being highly esteemed internationally, particularly in Germany and other European countries. Experience the tradition and natural beauty of Japan through Bizen ware in your daily dining.
