The Origin of Bizen Pottery
Tuesday, February 27, 2007
First of all, I’m going to introduce how Bizen pottery was developed over the time.
Originally, “Bizen” is the name of a city which is located in southeast Okayama prefecture, Japan. But the term actually means much broader areas throughout Okayama.
Bizen pottery is widely known as one of the traditional ceramics in Japan. It has the oldest history among those ceramics, and it is descended from Sue-ki, which is the oldest Japanese earthenware dating back to 300-400 A.D.
