Description

Mitsuru Isezaki is one of the potters who inherited the Bizen ware style redeveloped by Toyo Kaneshige.
His pottery style is simple and unadorned, showcasing the natural quality of the clay.
He fired his Hidasuki pieces in a climbing kiln (noborigama), eschewing the use of electric or gas kilns.
This rice bowl is a climbing kiln-fired Hidasuki piece, featuring a bright scarlet pattern against a beautiful white clay body.
I feel that works fired in a climbing kiln are rare, as they often result in charcoal-gray clay and dark red Hidasuki.

He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1934.
He was recognized as an Important Intangible Cultural Property designated by the prefecture in 1998.
He passed away in 2011.
