Description

Mitsuru Isezaki is a potter who inherited the Bizen ware style redeveloped by Toyo Kaneshige.
His pottery style is simple and unadorned, showcasing the natural beauty of the clay.
This tokkuri (sake bottle) also features a traditional round "kabura" (turnip) shape.
The surface of this piece displays a rainbow-colored firing pattern known as "kinsai."
It is a very elegant vessel; in fact, when I 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 a Prefectural Important Intangible Cultural Property in 1998.
He passed away in 2011.
