The unique unglazed texture of Bizen-yaki, made by a “kiln effect” and local clay. Bizen-yaki is stoneware that has evolved around the Bizen province in the Okayama prefecture, which has the longest history of six remaining kilns in Japan. Bizen-yaki is identifiable by its clay color and absence of glaze. Fired without glaze in high-temperature, the texture of the clay stands out on the product. The pattern of the surface is totally dependent on the component of the clay and the firing process. Although potters take into account these effects by the placement of pieces and by regulating the amount of falling residual ashes, fire sometimes causes unexpected changes and surprising results on the stoneware.
