JAPANESE INCENCE HOLDER/TRINKET JINDO OF BIZEN ORIGINAL BOX SIGNED 3X2" NIB



Item Description



Bizen ware JAPANESE INCENCE HOLDER/TRINKET JINDO OF BIZEN ORIGINAL BOX SIGNED 3X2" NIB       Bizen has a history dating back a thousand years. It became very
popular in ritual tea ceremonies among generals during the late 16th
century wars, and was often given as gifts for the emperor or shogun in
the 17th century. Bizen
clay has a high iron content, giving it a traditional red base colour.
The unique and various patterns on the pottery is created when brown ash
from burnt pine tree logs moulds itself onto the pieces in a kiln
reaching 1200?. This high temperature causes the ash to disintegrate and
a chemical reaction turns it into glass, producing earthenware that is
incredibly hard. The patient craftsmen of Bizen find pride in creating
their pottery then placing them in the kiln, keeping the logs burning
for two weeks day and night, all the while praying to the god of fire.
This humble tradition has carried Bizen?s artisans for over a thousand
years, and you will never see the same pattern in any Bizen pottery. Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: For full item description
