Description

Jun Isazaki is a Living National Treasure in Bizen ware. (The fifth person to be designated for Bizen ware)
He fires his work using a straight tunnel kiln called an "Anagama."
The flames of the Anagama kiln blow into the back of the kiln all at once.
This is a "Yohen" (kiln-changed) Guinomi sake cup, which can only be fired in a specific spot within the Anagama kiln.
This Guinomi features an excellent fire pattern resulting from the extremely high heat.
Furthermore, its design has been kept simple to complement the Yohen fire pattern.

He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1936.
He graduated from Okayama University in 1959.
He was designated as a Living National Treasure in 2004.
