Endless Pursuit of Glaze

Yoshinori Izumi, who has a studio in the satoyama (foothills) of Keihoku, Kyoto, has been researching glazes for over 50 years.

Based on the knowledge gained at the Kyoto Municipal Institute of Industrial Research, he has pursued unique kiln-variation expressions by meticulously verifying changes caused by firing temperature, glaze composition, and flame exposure.

Izumi's works are not solely reliant on chance but are built upon a wealth of accumulated data and experience over many years.

Nevertheless, unpredictable changes occur within the kiln, and no two pieces ever have the same pattern.

 

Beautiful Colors Created by Fire

Izumi's Tenmoku and celadon works display complex color changes that arise during firing.

The deep gradations created by the flowing glaze and the delicate kiln variations resulting from mineral reactions exhibit an appearance akin to natural phenomena.

 

Utensils that Enhance Daily Life

While Izumi's vessels possess high artistic merit, they are also crafted with an emphasis on everyday use.

Drawing on his extensive experience crafting a wide range of vessels over many years, including sake cups, teacups, and matcha bowls, meticulous attention is paid to features such as lip feel, ease of holding, and overall comfort of use.

These vessels possess a quiet presence while enhancing food and drink. You can enjoy the expression of the glaze and the changes in light every time you use them.

 

For a Special Gift

The works will be delivered in a wooden box handwritten by the artist.

The patterns created by kiln variations are unique to each piece, with no two having the same expression.

Izumi's works, born from years of dedication to glazes, are highly recommended as special gifts.

These impactful vessels will grow more cherished with every use.

Comment from the Shop Owner

This is a matcha bowl from Yoshinori Izumi's representative "Ryusei" (Meteor) series.

The blue and silver iridescence that appears during firing is beautiful, and its expression changes depending on how the light hits it and the viewing angle.

The flowing glaze patterns are unique to each piece, making this a work that fully showcases the charm of Tenmoku glaze.

It will be delivered in a wooden box handwritten by the artist, making it an excellent choice for a gift.
