Koji Nakahara - Bizen Ryugyoku Shishi Houhin
66,000 YENSold out
size : W11.0cm×8.7cm×H10.3cmKoji Nakahara studied under Fumio Kawabata and strives to create works that complement contemporary lifestyles. This is a Bizen Ryugyoku Shishi Houhin by the artist.
This piece was fired in the kiln of his teacher, Fumio Kawabata.
Nakahara often says that the speed of his hands cannot keep up with the ideas constantly emerging in his mind, and this Houhin is filled with the kind of imaginative details that characterize his work.
Reflecting Nakahara’s current passion for highly detailed sculptural work, the piece follows the traditional style of Bizen Houhin that was developed and refined over generations by master craftsmen.
A sculpted Shishi holding a ball or similar object is a classic motif in Bizen Houhin. In this work, however, Nakahara has given the tradition an intriguing twist by combining the Shishi with a “Ryugyoku,” formed from a dragon curled tightly into a spherical shape.
The body of the Houhin is covered in a striking Hai-kaburi kiln effect with a rich gray tone. This subdued surface beautifully emphasizes the intricate sculptural details while also allowing the owner to enjoy the changes that develop through continued use.
Houhin decorated with sculptural figures on their lids can easily become rather heavy. By carefully adjusting both the amount of clay and the overall dimensions, however, Nakahara has kept this piece at a pleasantly balanced weight in the hand.
Masao Akiya - Bizen Beerglass
4,400 YENSold out
size : W7.8cm×7.7cm×H10.4cmThis is a newly fired Bizen Beer Mug by Masao Akiya, who studied under Jun Isezaki, the fifth Living National Treasure of Bizen ware, and creates highly original works with a fresh and distinctive spirit.
This is one of his latest works, newly fired in February 2026.
This Beer Mug is especially appealing for its splendid fire pattern created through the traditional Anagama firing of the Isezaki lineage. Against a base of amber-colored clay tones, beautiful white Kase-Goma appears in a striking half-and-half pattern.
Inside the piece, the characteristic nature of Anagama firing—where the flames rush powerfully toward the back of the kiln—can be clearly seen. Fine Tobi-Goma has settled as if gathering toward the bottom, creating a fascinating effect that naturally draws the eye during use.
Along the sides of the piece, the clay has been carefully shaved away with fine spatula work. This extra step makes a significant difference in the final result.
Jun Isezaki - Bizen Yunomi
44,000 YENSold out
size : W7.6cm×7.3cm×H9.1cmDrawing a wealth of inspiration from the natural environment of his beloved home of Bizen, Jun Isezaki brought a new spirit to the tradition of Bizen ware. This is a newly released Bizen Yunomi by the artist.
Fired in February 2026, it is a work from the final period of his career.
The Yunomi was fired for approximately ten days in a semi-underground Anagama kiln. Its surface displays many of the kiln effects representative of Isezaki’s Bizen ware, including Goma, Hidasuki, fine thread-like Goma, and a gradation between white clay and vivid scarlet tones.
This work was formed from a coarse, sandy clay, and individual grains of sand can be seen emerging through the gradation of scarlet coloring.
Rice straw was placed diagonally across the vessel, creating a Hidasuki pattern that circles the entire Yunomi. The flowing path of the straw is so captivating that one may easily lose track of time while following it around the surface.
As the straw burned, it fused with the natural ash glaze and transformed into an effect known as Ito-Goma, while still preserving the delicate shape of the original straw.
Inside the Yunomi, Goma carried by the hot air of the Anagama kiln has settled in exceptionally fine particles, resembling a light covering of powdery snow.
Although the box inscription identifies the work as a Yunomi, it may, of course, also be enjoyed as a beer cup.
Masao Akiya - Bizen Beerglass
4,400 YENSold out
size : W8.0cm×7.9cm×H10.3cmThis is a newly fired Bizen Beer Mug by Masao Akiya, who studied under Jun Isezaki, the fifth Living National Treasure of Bizen ware, and creates highly original works with a fresh and distinctive spirit.

Kosuke keneshige - Bizen Yunomi
11,000 YEN
size : W7.6cm×7.6cm×H10.6cmKosuke Kaneshige, a leading figure of the Kaneshige family, is the son of Toyo Kaneshige, the great revivalist of modern Bizen ware. This is an earlier Bizen Yunomi by the artist.
The work is accompanied by an artist biography listing his career through 2008 and is believed to have been created around that time.
The body features Kaneshige’s distinctive indented design, making the artist immediately recognizable at a glance. This detail gives definition to the overall form while also making the Yunomi comfortable to hold.
The area from the rim to the body was exposed to the flames for an extended period, allowing a rich layer of natural ash glaze to develop. The resulting substantial Kigoma reflects the powerful firing characteristic of a family descended from the artist who led the revival of Bizen ware.
The clay surface also displays the rich and complex coloring associated with the Kaneshige family, who do not use a mechanical clay kneader at any stage of their clay preparation. Small stone particles, carefully selected by hand, provide subtle and highly effective accents.
The powerful firing has created a surface that appears almost coated, giving the vessel a smooth texture and making it particularly pleasant to use.
Although this is an older work, it has never been used.
Sohei Takashima - Bizen Kuro Mugcup
5,500 YENSold out
size : W11.5cm×8.5cm×H6.3cmAfter completing his training at Jun Isezaki’s studio, Sohei Takashima received the Contemporary Ceramic Art Encouragement Award from the Japan Ceramic Society, marking a brilliant debut. This is his **Bizen Kuro Mug Cup**.
Sohei Takashima studied under Jun Isezaki, the fifth Living National Treasure of Bizen ware, and later established himself in Ushimado, Setouchi City. This is one of his Bizen Kuro Mug Cups.
By introducing his own innovations into the final firing in an electric kiln, he creates artificial golden highlights across the entire surface, while a gradation of three different clay tones gives the piece its distinctive atmosphere.
The clay surface has an almost metallic coloration, beautifully accentuating Takashima’s precise and refined form.
Takashima crafts every work, from tableware to tea utensils, with exceptional care and attention to detail. This piece is no exception, offering a highly satisfying presence in which every part has been meticulously finished.
Jun Isezaki - Bizen Yunomi
44,000 YENSold out
size : W7.3cm×7.1cm×H9.6cmThis is a newly fired Bizen Yunomi by Jun Isezaki, Living National Treasure and a leading figure in the world of Bizen ware, whose creativity continues to flourish without ever fading.
It is one of his latest works, freshly fired in February 2026.
Fired for about ten days in a semi-underground anagama kiln, this piece displays a firing rich in expressions that are truly representative of Isezaki Bizen, including Goma, Hidasuki, Ito-Goma, and gradations of hiro and amber tones.
Rice straw was arranged diagonally across the piece in a kesa-gake manner, and the Hidasuki circling all the way around the vessel is so captivating that one finds oneself unconsciously tracing the flow of the straw with the eyes.
As the straw burned during firing, it fused with the natural ash glaze and transformed into the effect known as Ito-Goma, while still retaining the shape of the straw itself.
Inside the vessel, Goma carried by the hot air of the anagama has settled in extremely fine particles, like a dusting of snow.
Although it is inscribed as a Yunomi, it can of course also be enjoyed as a beer mug.
Masao Akiya - Bizen cup and saucer
4,400 YENSold out
size : cup:W10.5cm×8.8cm×H6.3cm
saucer：W14.6cm×14.5cm×H1.4cmThis is a Bizen Cup and Saucer by Masao Akiya, who studied under Jun Isezaki, the fifth Living National Treasure of Bizen ware, and creates highly original works with a fresh and distinctive spirit.
This piece was newly fired in February 2026.
This Cup and Saucer set is especially appealing for its splendid fire patterns created through the traditional Anagama firing of the Isezaki lineage. It is a stylish and beautiful set that displays the distinctive character of Masao Akiya’s work.
The cup was fired with abundant heat, and its main features are the subdued reddish-brown surface, created by allowing it to absorb smoke slowly, and the scattered Kigoma.
In contrast, the saucer was fired while stacked with other pieces, preserving the natural color of the clay. Lightning-like Hidasuki stands out beautifully against its white surface.
The entire set has a simple, thin-walled design. The handle in particular is made especially thin, giving the cup a distinctive and interesting feel in the hand.
Sohei Takashima - Bizen Mitsuishi Mugcup
4,400 YENSold out
size : W11.9cm×8.4cm×H7.4cmAfter completing his training at Jun Isezaki’s studio, Sohei Takashima received the Contemporary Ceramic Art Encouragement Award from the Japan Ceramic Society, marking a brilliant debut. This is his new Bizen Mitsuishi mug cup.
Sohei Takashima studied under Jun Isezaki, the fifth Living National Treasure of Bizen ware, and later established himself in Ushimado, Setouchi City. This is one of his mug cups.
This piece was made by mixing Bizen clay with roseki stone from the Mitsuishi district in eastern Bizen City, resulting in a white surface that looks almost like unfired clay.
The roseki stone, a specialty of Mitsuishi, is finely crushed and blended into the clay, giving the piece an extremely smooth texture that matches its porcelain-like appearance.
Because of the nature of the clay, this is a piece that will develop beautifully with use. The colors of tea, coffee, and other drinks will gradually soak into the surface, and it is said that the piece will slowly take on a soft, earthy tone, almost as if it were being fired once again.
In keeping with the character and color of the clay, all unnecessary gestures have been completely stripped away. The result is a wonderfully simple and quiet design that perfectly suits its clean, pure appearance.
Masao Akiya - Kuro Mugcup
5,500 YENSold out
size : W10.6cm×8.1cm×H8.3cmThis is a Kuro Mug Cup by Masao Akiya, who studied under Jun Isezaki, the fifth Living National Treasure of Bizen ware, and creates highly original works with a fresh and distinctive spirit.
This piece was newly fired in February 2026.
It was made using the Kuro-Bizen technique inherited from his master, Jun Isezaki, and the black surface is especially attractive, combining a deep luster with a warm tone.
A special clay collected in areas such as Osafune, near Bizen City, is applied to the surface after being blended with a small amount of cobalt, producing a stylish and deeply expressive black finish.
The entire black surface of this piece has a smooth luster, allowing the user to enjoy its rich sheen while its soft texture makes it comfortable to hold and use.
The refined design characteristic of Masao Akiya is exceptionally stylish. Rather than relying on elaborate decoration, the piece has been kept simple in order to bring out the chic and modern character of his Kuro works, placing the beauty of its silhouette and lines at the forefront.
Masao Akiya - Bizen Beerglass
4,400 YENSold out
size : W7.8cm×7.8cm×H10.3cmThis is a newly fired Bizen Beerglass by Masao Akiya, who studied under Jun Isezaki, the fifth Living National Treasure of Bizen ware, and creates highly original works with a fresh and distinctive spirit.
This is one of his latest works, newly fired in February 2026.
This Beerglass is attractive for its vivid fire effects created through the traditional anagama firing of the Isezaki school. Based on a caramel-brown clay surface, beautiful scattered Goma appears across the entire piece.
In the interior, the distinctive character of the anagama kiln, where the flame rushes powerfully toward the back of the kiln, is especially well expressed. Fine Tobi-Goma gathers toward the bottom, naturally drawing the eye whenever the piece is used.
The form has a distinctive design reminiscent of the Beerglass by his master, Jun Isezaki. In addition, the lower section has been carved in a way that resembles curtain tucks, adding a charming and interesting accent to the piece.
