【Before use】
As this is made from natural clay, there are fine irregularities on the surface where oil and moisture can easily penetrate.
To prevent this as much as possible, we recommend soaking in water for about 30 minutes before use if possible. Please note that cups and similar items will inevitably develop color staining from coffee and other beverages.

【After use】
Dish detergent may be used, but please wash as soon as possible. After washing, we recommend allowing it to air dry naturally before storing.

【Regarding color staining】
Strongly pigmented liquids such as coffee and tea will gradually cause staining deposits on the vessel. For concerning staining deposits, please try oxygen bleach. Also, please do not use boiling water when using. Bizen pottery is ceramics that are sensitive to sudden temperature changes.

※The firing results of Bizen pottery vary greatly depending on the kiln temperature, conditions, and type of clay, and may also differ significantly based on the placement within the kiln.

The History of Bizen Pottery

Bizen pottery is said to have originated from the gradual development of Sue pottery (sueki) production techniques from the Kofun period, with the production of everyday items such as bowls, plates, and roof tiles beginning in the Heian period. By the Kamakura period, pottery with the characteristic reddish-brown fired surface that we see today began to be produced.

Characteristics of Bizen ware

We use clay called "hiyose," which is a mixture of soil excavated from rice fields combined with mountain soil and black soil containing iron content. Without using glaze, the pieces are fired at high temperatures of 1200-1300 degrees to create a hard, fired finish that results in a distinctive reddish-brown surface. The patterns created through "kihen" (natural firing variations) are each unique, with no two pieces being identical.

Bizen ware manufacturing process

In Bizen pottery, where clay itself becomes the vessel, the selection and preparation of clay is crucial, and the clay's character reflects the individuality of each kiln or artisan. After shaping on a potter's wheel or by hand-building, the pieces are naturally dried and fired in climbing kilns or electric kilns. The firing of Bizen pottery is typically done using split red pine wood.

Bizen ware

Bizen pottery is produced in and around Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture. Along with Seto, Tokoname, Tamba, Shigaraki, and Echizen, it is counted as one of Japan's six ancient kilns. Bizen pottery is formed from high-quality clay and dried, then fired without painting or glazing, allowing the natural character of the clay to emerge beautifully. The firing creates distinctive patterns including goma, sangiri, and hidasuki, which result from the way pieces are arranged in the kiln and the effects of ash and straw that adhere during firing, ensuring that no two pieces have identical patterns.
