Kei Ushigaki - Tokkuri
24,200 YEN
size : W9.1cm×9.0cm×H13.9cm 380ccThis Tokkuri was created by Kei Ushigaki, who trained under Jun Isezaki, a Living National Treasure.
He later established his own kiln in Kagoshima, the land connected to his grandfather.
By viewing the culture of Bizen ware from a distance—both geographically and conceptually—he has created a work that captures the essence and renewed appeal of Bizen through an external lens.
This piece is reminiscent of the traditional Imbe-te style, with clay sourced from Kagoshima applied to its surface.
Although he is associated with the Isezaki group, he deliberately avoids using cobalt, adhering instead to old-fashioned methods.
The entire piece is covered in natural ash glaze, which—perhaps due to the influence of Kagoshima’s clay—has developed a dry, weathered appearance, acquiring a matte texture and rough feel reminiscent of Irabo ware.
The Yohen itself has formed in three distinct layers: scorched Goma in pale yellow and dark brown, rugged rock-like ash deposits, and Kigoma resembling Irabo glaze—all contributing to an exceptionally dynamic visual effect.
In terms of form, the piece clearly reflects the aesthetic inherited from the Isezaki lineage, with a stylish design—such as the flared foot that appears as if the clay is peeling outward.
Gosuke Yashiro - Imbe Guinomi
5,500 YENSold out
size : W7.0cm×7.0cm×H4.2cmThis Guinomi was fired by Gosuke Yashiro around 2023.
It was created in a newly constructed, ultra-small, fully underground Anagama kiln of his own design. In a bold and experimental approach, the firing was carried out without using refractory materials except for the ceiling area.
The surface features a quintessential Bizen aesthetic—a refined harmony of Kigoma and rich Shiso-colored hues. Especially noteworthy is the Shiso tone, which bears a unique smoky nuance, adding a profound sense of character.
Measuring 7 cm in diameter, the piece offers a comfortable, classic grip. Coupled with the soft texture resulting from minimal use of refractory materials, this sake cup delivers a subtle yet deeply satisfying tactile experience.
It is an unused piece, carefully stored in pristine condition since it was purchased new, and has never been opened or handled.
Michiaki Kaneshige - Imbe Sakazuki square type
44,000 YENSold out
size : W8.2cm×7.9cm×H3.2cmMichiaki Kaneshige is the eldest son of Toyo Kanesige.
He creates traditional Bizen ware and innovative sculptures while following the teachings of his father, Toyo Kaneshige.
This elegant Guinomi was first shaped on the potter’s wheel and then gently refined by hand into a squared form.
A powerful, carved circular pattern appears in the interior base, offering a subtle yet sophisticated expression.
The piece showcases a remarkable clay texture that can only be achieved through meticulous clay preparation.
The earthy tone is dominated by a rich shiso-like purple hue, giving it a vibrant and aromatic presence.
A Hidasuki mark—modestly applied near the foot—adds a beautiful accent to the piece.
Though functionally a result of the kiln-stacking process, this detail contributes significantly to the work’s aesthetic impact.
Kei Ushigaki - Guinomi
14,300 YEN

Koichiro Isezaki - Kuro Guinomi
26,400 YENSold out
size : W7.6cm×7.4cm×H5.8cmKoichiro Isezaki is Jun Isezaki's eldest son.
He uses kiln in a tunnel-like shape called "anagama".
This new work was fired in August 2025.
He makes works with normal Bizen clay, and paints black clay after drying.
"Kuro" is made of clay with a high iron content in the Osafune district of Okayama prefecture.
Add a small amount of cobalt after dissolving them in water to make it liquid.
The black clay applied to the work changes to beautiful black when fired.
Kei Ushigaki - Guinomi
13,200 YENSold out
size : W6.8cm×6.6cm×H5.3cmKei Ushigaki trained under Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki and later established his own kiln in Kagoshima, his grandfather’s homeland.
Seeing Bizen-yaki from the distance of Kagoshima allowed him to rediscover its appeal; this piece embodies that renewed vision.
Fired in an anagama he built in Kagoshima with fine clay, it presents a bright gray fire pattern accented by a vivid, ripened-persimmon scarlet break.
Inside the well, the firing advanced further than the front scarlet, yielding the dense shiso-purple tone that is quintessential to Bizen-yaki.
In form, it faithfully carries the Isezaki clan vocabulary: thrown with generous thickness, then pared along the sides into an elegant octagonal profile.
Koichiro Isezaki - Bizen Yohen Guinomi
30,800 YENSold out
size : W8.3cm×7.8cm×H6.2cmKoichiro Isezaki is Jun Isezaki's eldest son.
He uses kiln in a tunnel-like shape called "anagama".
This Guinomi was fired by him in September 2024.
There is a hole in the middle of anagama for small firewood.
The firewood that was put in during firing turned into a black fire pattern for this works.
It is a lively Youhen with a different color from the nobori gama kiln.
The design is like a smaller Chawan.
Very quiet and calm, but very beautiful as a sphere.
Yoshiteru Takariki - Bizen Sakazuki
9,900 YENSold out
size : W11.0cm×10.7cm×H4.1cmThis is an earlier work by Yoshiteru Takariki, a Bizen Sakazuki created around ten years ago. Inspired by the massive drinking vessels once favored by ancient Japanese warriors, this piece is a bold and powerful expression of traditional aesthetics.
With a diameter of approximately 11 cm, the Sakazuki exudes an impressive and commanding presence. However, rather than being ostentatious, the subdued elegance brought by Kase-Goma and Yohen effects softens the intensity, giving the piece a refined and dignified air.
Due to the sheer size of the form, a certain degree of structural rigidity was required from the clay. As a result, a significant proportion of mountain clay (yamatsuchi) was used, producing a deep, rich Hidasuki hue that seems to emerge from within the clay body itself.
The vivid coloration, which enhances the visual appeal of sake, also evokes a profound sense of beauty—like the fleeting brilliance of life—set against a backdrop of robust, flame-hardened textures. It is a poetic and emotionally charged landscape.
The powerful form, reminiscent of armored warriors, is imbued with passionate Hidasuki reds and a tinge of melancholic beauty, like the last light of a setting sun. This piece would pair wonderfully with rich nigori sake.
This work remains in unused condition, carefully preserved in its original state since purchase.
Anjin Abe - Imbe Guinomi
77,000 YENSold out
size : W6.6cm×6.0cm×H6.3cmThis is a Guinomi created around 2008 by Anjin Abe.
Unlike most contemporary Bizen artists who use cobalt-enriched slip, this piece is made using high-iron clay, faithfully reproducing the traditional method of old Bizen.
The most distinctive feature is its deeply lustrous surface, showcasing the essence of Imbe style. Rather than simple black, the color leans toward a richly complex dark brown, where shades of black and burnt umber intertwine into a densely layered surface.
The texture rivals that of early-Edo period Imbe Mizusashi, with a lacquer-like depth that invites endless appreciation.
On the front, a deeply carved plum blossom motif contrasts beautifully with a heavy layer of Kigoma, adding a dramatic visual impact.
In contrast, the back is adorned with a simple circular engraving—perhaps the moon, the sun, or something entirely whimsical—adding a playful accent to the piece.
This work is in unused condition, having been carefully stored since its original purchase without being opened.
Yoshiteru Takariki - Bizen Hidasuki Sakazuki ??Polka Dot??
7,700 YEN
size : W7.5m×7.3cm×H4.6cmThis Guinomi was created around 15 years ago by Yoshiteru Takariki and features his original “Polka dot Hidasuki” design—a unique interpretation of the traditional Hidasuki technique.
While conventional Hidasuki markings are formed by wrapping or placing straw during firing, Takariki developed this dot-pattern effect by applying straw in rounded clusters, creating soft, playful polka dots across the surface.
The piece was fired in a specially customized electric kiln capable of extended firing times comparable to a climbing kiln.
Thanks to this method, the clay body showcases a gently textured surface, and the rich Hidasuki hues deeply infused into the body highlight the sophisticated technique inherited from his master, Sozan Kaneshige.
The minimal use of straw complements the delicate polka dot pattern, and the mogusa-colored clay base gives the piece a gentle, almost floral impression—both refined and inviting.
This Guinomi has only been used a few times and remains in excellent condition, with no visible stains or signs of wear.
Yoshiteru Takariki - Bizen Kuro Guinomi
9,900 YENSold out
size : W6.6cm×6.5cm×H5.9cmHe inherits the skills and spirit of Sozan Kaneshige.
The simple and undecorated design highlights the beauty of Bizen clay.
He believes that the work will be completed in the hands of the user.
This Guinomi was fired in around 2015.
This Guinomi represents a new direction for Yoshiteru Takariki,
featuring a black slip clay surface—a departure from his previous works.
Using high-quality base clay and firing it in a traditional climbing kiln,
he has transformed this piece into a distinctive and evolved expression of his style.
The cup was placed at the front of the kiln, where the flame is most intense.
As a result, the entire surface is generously coated with amber-colored natural ash glaze,
creating a subdued, elegant tone that resembles iron glaze—despite its title, “Black.”
Inside the vessel, the glaze has pooled under high heat,
forming an obsidian-like depth at the bottom.
Together with the delicate crazing around the interior, it offers a mysterious and captivating experience when filled with sake.
The classic, approachable form—typical of Takariki’s work—makes it easy to handle,
despite the fantastical glaze landscape.
It is a sake cup that harmonizes practical usability with striking visual intrigue.
This piece has only been used a few times since purchase,
and remains in excellent condition with no stains or signs of wear.
Kazuki Nakamura - Bizen Guinomi
6,600 YENSold out
size : W9.0cm×8.7cm×H3.3cmThis Guinomi was made by Kazuki Nakamura approximately 15 years ago.
On the front, it features a vibrant scarlet clay color (Hiiro)—a hallmark of the Nakamura family—
while inside, a more subtle scarlet tone lies hidden, gradually revealing itself as it comes into contact with sake.
In terms of usability, the slightly tapered body fits naturally between the thumb and forefinger,
and the sturdy foot offers a secure hold for the middle finger, making it more comfortable to handle than its appearance might suggest.
This piece allows you to enjoy both the expressive form and vivid Hiiro at once.
As you continue to use it, the surface will become increasingly polished by sake, enhancing its character over time.
It has only been used a few times since purchase, and remains in excellent condition with no noticeable stains or signs of wear.
