Mitsuru Isezaki is one of the potters who inherited the Bizen ware tradition redeveloped by Toyo Kaneshige.
His pottery style is simple and unadorned, showcasing the natural quality of the clay.
This hanaire (flower vase) is one of his earlier works.
Hidasuki tsurukubi hanaire (crane-neck flower vases with fire-cord patterns) have been considered the highest grade since the Momoyama era.
