Description
This is a Bizen Guinomi by Mitsuru Isezaki, a master potter who loved Bizen ware and made significant contributions to the Bizen community.
A career history sheet up to 1999 (Heisei 11) is included, and this piece is believed to have been made around that time.
Believing that the true beauty of Bizen lies in the character of the clay itself, Mitsuru Isezaki consistently worked with a deep commitment to high-quality Hiyose clay. This Guinomi carries that quiet depth and richness.
Natural ash has fallen over the entire outer surface, allowing you to enjoy a well-balanced scenery where Kigoma, Kase-Goma, and Sangiri blend together.
Inside the guinomi as well, fine Goma has settled like powdery snow. It is not showy at first glance, but precisely for that reason it feels like a piece you can enjoy for many years to come.
The form is one of Mitsuru Isezaki’s classic shapes: the shoulder gently narrows while the rim opens outward, making it simple, comfortable in the hand, and very easy to use.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1934.
He was recognized as an important intangible cultural asset designated by the prefecture in 1998.
He died in 2011.
