Hozan Kiln Hidasuki Bizen Ware Mug

Sale price$79.00

This Hidasuki Bizen ware mug from Hozan Kiln exudes warmth and artistry, showcasing the iconic hidasuki patterns in vivid, reddish-orange streaks that flow elegantly over a soft, sandy clay body. The natural markings are born when rice straw reacts with the clay during the firing process, ensuring each mug is beautifully unique.

The interior reveals a striking red pattern, reminiscent of a bold brushstroke, contrasting gracefully against the lighter clay surface—an unexpected yet mesmerizing detail that invites quiet admiration. The unglazed, smooth texture of the mug allows the natural beauty of Bizen clay to shine, while its perfectly curved handle provides a comfortable and sturdy hold.

Ideal for daily rituals, this piece grows even more captivating with time, as its surface develops a patina that reflects its shared history with you. Whether enjoying tea, coffee, or sake, the Hidasuki mug brings a timeless and tranquil presence to every sip.

Meet the Artisan

Hozan Kiln

Bizen pottery, one of Japan's oldest and most revered ceramic traditions, traces its roots back over a thousand years. Originating in the Bizen region of Okayama Prefecture, this distinctive pottery style flourished alongside the development of Japanese tea culture. Bizen ware's unique characteristics are deeply rooted in the natural properties of the local clay and the traditional firing techniques employed by skilled artisans.

Today, Bizen ware stands as a symbol of Japanese cultural heritage, revered for its rustic beauty, timeless simplicity, and the deep connection it fosters between nature, art, and everyday life. Hozan Kiln, home to a direct descendant of one of the six original surnames of Bizen Pottery, continues the traditions of this pottery style to this day.
