Characteristics

All Bizen porcelain ware is hand-made by well-experienced pottery artists and it dazzlingly takes a long time for a piece of work. They specially cultivate clay of high quality through a natural procese for over 10 years, and then finally start to produce their works. After careful drying, it needs another 2 weeks for firing with the climbing kiln. The time enhances Bizen's clay attractions the most. You must want to cherish the Bizen porcelain ware made with a lot of time and efforts just like a top quality wine.
