Bizen ware (called Bizen yaki in Japanese) is a form of pottery produced in the area around the city of Bizen in Okayama prefecture. Bizen ware is one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns. Together with Shigaraki, Tamba, Echizen, Seto and Tokoname.
Bizen ware is considered to be one of the most outstanding Japanese kilns with traditions that remain to this day. Bizen ware has a unique manufacturing method as it does not use glaze. Generally, baked pottery is given luster and water-resistance by coating it with glaze, but since Bizen ware does not use glaze, the lack of luster gives a simple, rustic appearance. Glaze is also normally used when applying designs, but since this is not a step involved in the production of Bizen ware, each individual work remains different and unique, which is another charm of Bizen ware. The reason for not adding glaze is that hiyose clay, which is collected around the city of Bizen, is more difficult to spread enamel on than other types of clay. Despite the lack of enamel, great success has been achieved in producing durable porcelain with Bizen clay. Artisans, past and present, have considered different ways of adapting to the qualities of this clay, like through baking it inside kilns for a long time without touching, in order to develop Bizen ware to what it is today.
