Ancient Beginnings
Bizen Pottery has been shaped over more than 1,000 years. Hailing from the small village of Bizen - one of the six ancient Japanese kilns - its artists have been refining their techniques ever since.
Wabi-sabi, Japanese Aesthetics
A cornerstone principle of Bizen Pottery is wabi-sabi – which comes from traditional Japanese aesthetics and celebrates beauty in imperfections, embracing the simplicity and asymmetry of nature.
No Added Glazes or Paints
A revered 'art of clay and fire,' Bizen Pottery harnesses the power and serendipity of nature to create unique and singular pieces, completely unadulterated, with no added glazes or paints.
Artistry, Applied
Besides being remarkably durable, Bizen Pottery has significant functional benefits. Its duality of artistry and functionality makes it widely popular, even selected by some Michelin-star restaurants.
Heart & Hands
One of the GENSO artists is the 19th generation of a renowned Bizen Pottery family. Immersed in the elements of Bizen Pottery from a young age, many Bizen artists handle clay with the same ease that they breathe.
