Hello everyone, how are you all doing?

This year's Bizen Pottery Festival has successfully come to an end.

I am delighted that we were able to talk about Bizen pottery with so many customers again this year.

Thank you very much to everyone who visited us.

We received some wonderful news from Anjin Abe this morning.

It has been announced that three of his works (a Saishiki Bizen water jar, a Bizen water jar, and a Bizen tea bowl) have been acquired as part of the permanent collection of the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, which is considered one of the world's four great museums and boasts a collection of over 600,000 pieces.

It is said that this is the first time in history that a Japanese artist has had their work acquired while still alive.

In recent years, he has been active not only domestically but also globally, and his reputation continues to grow.

He recently unveiled Shigaraki works as well, constantly pursuing new possibilities.

In our update today at 8:00 PM, we will be introducing a newly fired Saishiki Bizen sake cup (see image below).

It is a piece with a dynamic composition reminiscent of Mt. Fuji floating in a sea of clouds.

It is a piece with a dynamic composition reminiscent of Mt. Fuji floating in a sea of clouds, so please be sure to take a look.

The clay texture, which reminds one of ancient Shigaraki ware, is said to be due to the use of exceptionally high-quality clay.

The Saishiki Bizen sake cup featuring Mt. Fuji, being updated today.
