Description
A master who loved Bizen and contributed greatly to its tradition, Mitsuru Isezaki created this sake cup with a quiet depth that is distinctly his.
A career record enclosed up to 1998 (Heisei 10) suggests the piece was made around that time.
Guided by his belief that the essence of Bizen lies in the clay color, and steadfast in his pursuit of fine tatsuchi (paddy-field clay), this work presents a richly layered surface true to his ideals.
On this piece, Goma has fallen densely on only one side, allowing you to savor the dialogue between the concentrated ash pattern and the beautiful, shiso-toned clay color. Inside the cup, the ash settles like powdered snow—not ostentatious, but all the more suited to a long life at the table.
The form is one of his classics: the shoulder narrows slightly while the rim opens gently—simple, balanced, and a pleasure to use.
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 died in 2011.
