Description
These rice bowls are the work of Kenji Nakamoto, who began working with pottery in Imbe during his university years and studied under master Shin Isezaki. The "left-facing horse" (hidari-uma) mark is a limited edition stamp applied only during the first firing of a kiln. Traditionally, it is said that eating from a bowl marked with a left-facing horse prevents paralysis, making these items highly prized as lucky charms. The interior scenery of one bowl features a generous dusting of yellow sesame-like ash glaze (goma), while the other showcases the crisp, earthy texture of the clay with red fire-cord markings (hidasuki). Because they offer such distinct aesthetics, they are perfect for a couple to enjoy together. Despite their affordable price, the craftsmanship and firing are authentic, making these an excellent gift for someone new to Bizen ware to experience its profound depth. Why not present them as a gift for occasions like Respect for the Aged Day, as a way to wish your loved ones a long and healthy life?
