BIZEN Pottery
Bizen Pottery (Bizen-yaki) is one of the most ancient types of pottery existing in Japan today.
It was founded more than one thousand years ago.
Bizen pottery is the only type pottery that utilizes absolutely no kind of glazes.
Fuel for this heating is limited to Japanese red pine.
I use 2000 pieces of Japanese red pines.
The unbaked potteries are placed in the kiln and for the duration of ten days and ten nights,are subjected to very intensive heat, temperature reaching over thirteen hundred degrees Centigrade.
