Description

Koichiro Isezaki is the eldest son of Jun Isezaki.

He uses the same tunnel kiln (known as Anagama in Japan) as his father and his father's disciples.

This piece was freshly fired in the August 2025 kiln.

It showcases a textbook example of Anagama firing, featuring a stunning contrast between white and amber-toned clay surfaces, interspersed with a variety of vibrant Yohen (kiln effects).

While the form is a simple cylindrical Yunomi, the design below the waist is quite distinctive. The piece features a stepped waist and a rounded base, giving it a unique and engaging character.

The clean and refined coloration, characteristic of Anagama firing, is beautifully paired with an understated yet stylish design. This synthesis results in a piece that fits seamlessly into modern living spaces.

Given its shape and size, it can also be enjoyed as a shochu cup or a glass for drinks on the rocks.

Delivered in a paulownia wood box, it is also an excellent choice for a gift or a commemorative item.

He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1974 as the eldest son of Jun Isezaki.
He graduated from Tokyo Zokei University in 1996.
He studied ceramics in New York and has been active since 2000.
