Jun Isezaki - Bizen Hikidashi Kuro Guinomi

165,000 YEN

size : W7.7cm×7.4cm×H6.4cm

This is a newly kiln-unloaded Bizen Hikidashi-guro Guinomi by Jun Isezaki, a Living National Treasure whose creativity never runs dry and who continues to lead the world of Bizen ware.

It is his latest work, unloaded from the kiln in February 2026.

This piece was fired using the Hikidashi technique, one of the signature methods of the Isezaki lineage. Placed near the mouth of the kiln and pulled out during firing from a kiln approaching 1200°C, it is an exceptionally rare Hikidashi-guro guinomi, with only a very small number produced even from a single firing.

The Goma, having been pulled from the kiln in this way, has taken on an amber tone mixed with blue, creating a transparent and beautiful Yohen that can only be seen in Hikidashi pieces.

The black surface, too, has turned into a deep and limpid blue through the action of the cobalt in the black slip, and when in use it will absorb moisture and shine even more beautifully.

Most Bizen ware calls to mind fierce flames and blasts of hot air, but Hikidashi-guro alone possesses a very different and remarkably delicate expression, evoking instead the gentle atmosphere of falling rain.

The smooth black coloration of the exposed clay areas and the exceptionally bold, energetic form also show Jun Isezaki’s distinctive touch, making the piece compelling not only in its Kigoma and blue Yohen, but throughout.

It is slightly unstable due to the shape of the foot and the fire effects, but once sake is poured in, it becomes stable.



Makoto Kaneshige - Bizen Henko Tokkuri

220,000 YEN
Sold out

size : W11.0cm×9.0cm×H11.0cm 360cc

This is a freshly kiln-unloaded new Bizen Henko Tokkuri by Makoto Kaneshige, who inherited the Enzan kiln as the eldest son of Sozan Kaneshige and continues to captivate many people through a harmony of delicate, elegant clay character and powerful form.

It is his latest work, just unloaded from the kiln in late 2025 (Reiwa 7).

When Makoto aims for Yohen, he commits to the firing without compromise, and this piece shows a heavy, intense Yohen, as if the clay itself had been fired to its very limit.

On the back, it feels as though a fleeting moment of being overtaken by lava has been captured. The dark, softly gleaming mass of ash holds both a mesmerizing beauty and a sense of peril, as if it could pull you in.

Alongside the black-silver mass of ash, even a radiant metallic luster appears in the Yohen Line area, suggesting that the piece was fired deep into a very high temperature range.

The firing is so intense that it seems to test the very limits of the clay itself, and yet, thanks to the high quality of the clay and the careful, time-consuming finishing so characteristic of the Kaneshige lineage, the surface remains surprisingly pleasant to the touch.

The neck is also deeply indented, so much so that Makoto’s finger marks seem to remain there. It achieves both ease of handling and an intriguing presence, while avoiding damage from the heat. It would be no exaggeration to call this the work of a true master, possible only because Makoto has so thoroughly pursued the art of the sake vessel.



Jun Isezaki - Bizen Yohen Guinomi

132,000 YEN

size : W6.8cm×6.7cm×H6.9cm

This is a newly kiln-unloaded Bizen Yohen guinomi by Jun Isezaki, a Living National Treasure whose creativity never runs dry and who continues to lead the world of Bizen ware.

It is his latest work, unloaded from the kiln in February 2026.

Among Jun Isezaki’s works, Anagama Yohen pieces are especially rare, and as can be seen from the fact that even the inside of the foot is densely covered in ash-induced Yohen, this piece was fired under tremendous heat, buried in embers in the middle section of the kiln.

The back has received an intense ash covering, almost like cooled and solidified magma, and the rich gray Yohen, reminiscent of noborigama firing, is particularly beautiful.

The open area on the front has also been thoroughly fired by the force of the flames, creating a distinctive clay surface in which a deep shiso-purple tone is interwoven with a slight metallic luster.

The clay surface in the interior as well has taken on a completely dry, matte texture through the strong firing, yet when sake is poured into it, the clay seems to come back to life with striking vividness, as if revived by a long-awaited gentle rain.

The form is simple, without decorative elements such as impressed patterns, in order to harmonize with the Yohen, but this restraint only serves to highlight the beauty of the Yohen Line all the more.

It is slightly unstable due to the shape of the foot and the fire effects, but once sake is poured in, it becomes stable.



Yuu Fujiwara - Bizen Shuhai

66,000 YEN

size : W6.1cm×6.0cm×H6.0cm

This is a Bizen guinomi by Yu Fujiwara, a Living National Treasure who looked beyond Japan and helped convey the appeal of Bizen ware to the world.

The style is unmistakably that of Yu Fujiwara at a glance, a work that seems to confront the viewer with a naked spirit, stripped of all superficial technique.

This is a work from his later years, after he was designated a Living National Treasure, and it shows the distinctive firing effects that are characteristic of his mature pieces.

Using the large Bota Mochi that are a hallmark of Fujiwara Bizen, the scenery of the piece is beautifully composed. A half-moon-shaped Bota Mochi is placed along the rim, balancing both visual interest and ease of use.

The underlying clay surface shows a complex blend of shiso purple, orange, and brown, over which a metallic luster, like a coating of platinum, has appeared, creating a uniquely expressive surface.

Inside, where this luminous clay character can be fully appreciated, a large Bota Mochi spreads across the entire interior. When the sake is finished, the metallic sheen begins to glow, as if a silver moon were rising from the surface of a lake.



Makoto Kaneshige - Bizen Sakazuki

88,000 YEN
Sold out

size : W9.6cm×8.7cm×H3.9cm

This is a freshly kiln-unloaded new Bizen sakazuki by Makoto Kaneshige, who inherited the Enzan kiln as the eldest son of Sozan Kaneshige and continues to captivate many people through a harmony of delicate, elegant clay character and powerful form.

It is his latest work, just unloaded from the kiln in late 2025 (Reiwa 7).

When Kaneshige aims for fire effects, he commits to the firing without compromise, and this piece shows a heavy, intense fire effect as if the clay itself has been fired to its very limit.

The ash-laden fire-effect area feels as though a fleeting moment of being overtaken by lava has been captured. The dark, softly gleaming mass of ash holds both a mesmerizing beauty and a sense of peril, as if it could pull you in.

Despite the daring firing that seems to test the threshold just before damage, the clay character is not completely burnt out. Miraculously, it retains a fresh, vivid hi-iro, allowing you to enjoy both the powerful fire effects and the finest clay character at the same time.

Also, the botan-mochi used to create the open, lighter area on the front continues into the interior as well, making this a piece that truly reaches completion when held and used—very much in the spirit of Kaneshige, who is himself a devoted sake lover.

And even after you finish your drink, there is still another pleasure waiting. While admiring the bold, wide foot that is so characteristic of Makoto Kaneshige, if you gently rub the last drops of sake into the surface, it will become an incomparable moment of bliss for any true sake enthusiast.

The shape of the base and Yohen make it a little unstable, but it becomes stable once you pour sake into it.

Alongside the black-silver ash, even a radiant, gold-like luster appears in the kumadori area, suggesting that the piece was fired deep into a very high-temperature range.

Despite the daring firing that seems to test the threshold just before damage, the clay surface itself retains a moist, supple texture—leaving one simply impressed by the quality of the clay used.

And even after you finish your drink, there is still another pleasure waiting. While admiring the bold, wide foot that is so characteristic of Makoto Kaneshige, if you gently rub the last drops of sake into the surface, it will become an incomparable moment of bliss for any true sake lover.

Koji Nakahara - Bizen Dragon Guinomi Kinsai

19,800 YEN

size : W7.8cm×7.8cm×H5.2cm

This is a new Bizen Dragon Guinomi by Koji Nakahara, who studied under Fumio Kawabata and strives to create works suited to modern life.

The entire surface is carved with a dragon motif, and by treating the guinomi itself as a single sky, the viewer can enjoy the majestic figure of a dragon drifting calmly through a sea of clouds.

The dragon has been carefully carved out of a thickly formed vessel, and the intricate details of the scales, claws, and whiskers are nothing short of remarkable.

Although the piece is thickly formed, the balance and feel in the hand have been thoughtfully adjusted throughout. Despite its bold design, it feels light and sits very comfortably in the hand.

This is a work finished with the gold-toned effects that Nakahara is known for achieving in an electric kiln. The upper part shows a metallic sheen reminiscent of copper, while the lower part displays a matte black fire effect, similar to his Susogo series.

This is a freshly kiln-unloaded new Bizen tokkuri by Makoto Kaneshige, who inherited the Enzan kiln as the eldest son of Sozan Kaneshige and continues to captivate many people through a harmony of delicate, elegant clay character and powerful form.

It is his latest work, just unloaded from the kiln in late 2025 (Reiwa 7).

A hallmark of the Enzan kiln tradition inherited from Sozan, and now something of Makoto’s signature, appears here as a vivid blue Kase-Goma.

A bluish Kase-Goma clings tightly to the clay surface, and its distinctive, frost-like atmosphere instantly captures the heart of any true sake lover.

In the open, lighter area near the center, you can also see a beautiful hi-iro, a sign of high-quality field clay, so the charm of Bizen clay remains clearly present—not only the intensity of the firing.

In terms of form, the piece showcases Makoto’s distinctive approach to shaping the neck. The firmly pulled-in neck creates a wonderful sense of rhythm and contrast throughout the tokkuri.

And even after you finish drinking, there is still another pleasure waiting. If you gently rub the droplets that form when pouring, or the last remaining sake, into the surface, you can truly touch the essence of Bizen tokkuri—something that has captivated countless sake lovers, including Makoto himself.

Yoshiteru Takariki - Bizen Hikidashi Guinomi square type

13,200 YEN
Sold out

size : W6.4cm×6.3cm×H4.7cm

This is a Bizen Hikidashi Guinomi, square type, by Yoshiteru Takariki, who studied under Sozan Kaneshige and Yuho Kaneshige.

This piece was unloaded from the kiln in September 2025 (Reiwa 7).

It was placed at the very front of the kiln, in the hottest zone, and pulled out during the firing. As a result, the entire surface looks as if it has been coated with glass.

However, on the bottom where it was in contact with the kiln shelf, the color changes completely from the outer surface, taking on an almost lead-like tone. It is a guinomi that makes you feel anew the mystery of Hikidashi-guro and the strange nature of light.

The four-sided form is also fascinating, evoking Chojiro’s Muki-guri in some way, and together with the pale green fire pattern, it shows an expression quite different from typical Bizen ware.
