Description
Mitsuru Isezaki is one of the potters who inherited the Bizen ware redeveloped by Toyo Kaneshige.
His pottery style is simple and unadorned to showcase the quality of the clay.
This tokkuri features a traditional shape modeled after a loofah, known as "Hisago."
The surface of this tokkuri displays a rainbow-colored firing pattern called "Kinsai."
It is such an elegant piece that when I first saw it, I was inspired to use it as a vase.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1934.
He was recognized as an Important Intangible Cultural Property by the prefecture in 1998.
He passed away in 2011.
