Pre-owned antique. Trivia Mori Hozan represents the 26th generation of the Mori family, one of the six hereditary kiln families (Rokussei) who have preserved Bizen pottery traditions for centuries while pursuing innovative expressions. The Six Hereditary Families (Rokussei) of Bizen - Mori, Kimura, Kakusai, Terami, Oae, and Kaneshige - have maintained their lineages and craft secrets since the Momoyama period (1573-1603). Bizen ware is one of Japan\'s Six Ancient Kilns (Rokkoyō), with continuous production for over 1,000 years, making it among the oldest pottery traditions in Japan. Yakishime (焼締め) refers to high-temperature firing without any glaze, relying entirely on natural clay properties and kiln atmosphere to create color and surface effects through 14+ days of wood firing. Natural kiln effects prized in Bizen include goma (sesame ash spots), hidasuki (fire cord marks), sangiri (oxidized red areas), and botamochi (rice cake spots) - all created by flame patterns, ash deposits, and straw wrapping. Bizen sake vessels are treasured by connoisseurs who believe the porous unglazed surface mellows sake\'s flavor, while the rough texture provides secure grip and enhances the sensory drinking experience.
