Description

Mitsuru Isezaki is one of the potters who inherited the Bizen ware tradition redeveloped by Toyo Kanesige.
His pottery style is simple and undecorated, designed to showcase the quality of the clay.
"Hidari-Uma" (left-facing horse) is a mark indicating that these are the first pieces produced and fired in a new kiln.
The Hidari-Uma has been cherished since ancient times as a symbol of good fortune.
The surface of this Guinomi features a rainbow-colored firing pattern known as "Kinsai."
Due to the influence of the Kinsai, the handle has also taken on a metallic hue.

He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1934.
He was designated as a Prefectural Important Intangible Cultural Property in 1998.
He passed away in 2011.
