Bizen-Yaki (Okayama Prefecture) is formed through the Yakishime technique, wherein unglazed pieces are fired at high temperatures.
Red pine wood is used in the process, allowing for beautiful natural hues and tones to manifest from the clay. Its special clay boasts a high iron content, granting remarkable thermal retention properties.
The artistry of Bizen-Yaki is quite distinct, emphasizing inner beauty and subtle nuances.
