Shigaraki, and Tanba, and has a history of over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been extinguished for more than 1,000 years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"clay making\"  determines the quality of the

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n            \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe most attractive feature of Bizen ware is \"窯変 \/ Yo-hen, Kiln Transformation (change of the ceramic surface)\".\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe greatest characteristic of \"Bizen ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

\"Yaki-shime\" technique, which has been handed down from generation to generation, produces a \"Yo-hen\" effect on the ceramic surface.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe beauty of \"Bizen ware\" lies in the \"Yo-hen\" (kiln transformation) created by the scorching heat of the flames.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThree features of \"Yo-hen\" (kiln

temperatures, producing a pattern on the the ceramic surface that looks like sesame seeds sprinkled on the surface.\u003cbr\u003e\nThese \"Go-ma \/ sesame\" are most often found in kilns that are

is buried in ash on the kiln floor and not directly exposed to the fire, or when it is fired in a reduction firing process due to air currents, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe color of the ceramic skin can be

was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n            \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe most attractive feature of Bizen ware is \"窯変 \/ Yo-hen, Kiln Transformation (change of the ceramic surface)\".\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe greatest characteristic of \"Bizen ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

Shigaraki, and Tanba, and has a history of over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been extinguished for more than 1,000 years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"clay making\"  determines the quality of the

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n            \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe most attractive feature of Bizen ware is \"窯変 \/ Yo-hen, Kiln Transformation (change of the ceramic surface)\".\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe greatest characteristic of \"Bizen ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n            \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe most attractive feature of Bizen ware is \"窯変 \/ Yo-hen, Kiln Transformation (change of the ceramic surface)\".\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe greatest characteristic of \"Bizen ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n            \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe most attractive feature of Bizen ware is \"窯変 \/ Yo-hen, Kiln Transformation (change of the ceramic surface)\".\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe greatest characteristic of \"Bizen ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n            \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe most attractive feature of Bizen ware is \"窯変 \/ Yo-hen, Kiln Transformation (change of the ceramic surface)\".\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe greatest characteristic of \"Bizen ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

Shigaraki, and Tanba, and has a history of over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been extinguished for more than 1,000 years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"clay making\"  determines the quality of the

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

Shigaraki, and Tanba, and has a history of over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been extinguished for more than 1,000 years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"clay making\"  determines the quality of the

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to

was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to

was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to

was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to

was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n

ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

Shigaraki, and Tanba, and has a history of over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been extinguished for more than 1,000 years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"clay making\"  determines the quality of the

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n            \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe most attractive feature of Bizen ware is \"窯変 \/ Yo-hen, Kiln Transformation (change of the ceramic surface)\".\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe greatest characteristic of \"Bizen ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

Shigaraki, and Tanba, and has a history of over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been extinguished for more than 1,000 years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"clay making\"  determines the quality of the

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n            \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe most attractive feature of Bizen ware is \"窯変 \/ Yo-hen, Kiln Transformation (change of the ceramic surface)\".\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe greatest characteristic of \"Bizen ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"

Shigaraki, and Tanba, and has a history of over a thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe oldest and most historic of these kilns is \"備前焼 \/ Bizen ware\".\u003cbr\u003e\nBizen City in Okayama Prefecture is a major center of Bizen Pottery, and there are still many kilns in the city, where numerous Bizen Pottery artists devote themselves to creating works of art.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is said that the kilns in this area have not been extinguished for more than 1,000 years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"clay making\"  determines the quality of the

influences the quality of the product, as it is said, \"1 [clay], 2 [firing], 3 [shape].\u003cbr\u003e\nThe raw clay material is soil collected from the bottom of a rice field called \"Hiyose\", which was deposited in the Ibe area of Bizen City and other areas.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis clay contains a large amount of iron and a variety of organic matter, which reacts with high-temperature flames to produce a wide range of kiln deformation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe clay \"Hiyose\" is exposed to the elements for several years, and then undergoes a number of processes, including \"Sui-hi\" (sieving to determine particle size), \"Kage-bohi\" (drying in the shade to remove moisture), and \"Nekashi\" (aging) to allow the clay to mature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n            \n            \n\u003cstrong\u003eThe most attractive feature of Bizen ware is \"窯変 \/ Yo-hen, Kiln Transformation (change of the ceramic surface)\".\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe greatest characteristic of \"Bizen ware\" is its simple and rustic beauty, which is neither glazed nor painted.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing \"split red pine wood\", which is essential for \"Bizen ware\", as fuel, the pots are slowly fired for about 10 days in a \"climbing kiln\" with a high-temperature flame that reaches 1,200°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"備前焼　赤松の割木\"
