Bizen, Shigaraki, Tokoname, Seto, Echizen, and Tamba are the six ancient kilns of Japan. Bizen's kiln sites can be traced back to the 13th century, and generations of artists have developed a strong tradition from its fertile lands.
A star of the Bizen industry, Kakurezaki Ryuichi 隠崎隆一 (b. 1950, Nagasaki) is known for his daring forms and tasteful surfaces that show off the variations of Bizen clay. Stemming from what is arguably the most famous pottery center of Japan, Bizen Okayama is home to numerous Bizen potters who take form to a sculptural level. Certainly the work of Kakurezaki achieves this sentiment. The curvilinear body of this sake flask or "Tokkuri" 徳利 shows off the dynamic white slip glaze over a charcoal gray clay body that shows off a hint of the iconic black-purple hue that Bizen clay offers. The lip of this flask is an iconic form, showcasing Kakurezaki's iconic lip with a cylindrical, geometric shape. He has mentored a generation of Bizen artists, such as the contemporary artist Ichikawa Toru, and others. HIs work showcases the quintessential spirit of Yakimono pottery.
