Endless Pursuit of Glaze Perfection

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 he cultivated at the Kyoto Municipal Industrial Research Institute, he has pursued unique kiln transformation expressions by meticulously verifying changes caused by firing temperature, glaze composition, and flame exposure.

Izumi's works are not simply reliant on chance; they are built upon years of accumulated data and experience.

Nevertheless, unpredictable changes occur within the kiln, and no two pieces ever turn out the same.

 


Beautiful Colors Created by Fire

Izumi's Tenmoku and Celadon works display complex color changes that emerge through firing.

The deep gradations created by the flowing glaze and the delicate kiln transformations resulting from the reaction of mineral components show expressions as if they were natural phenomena.

Vessels for Everyday Life

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

Drawing from his long experience in creating a wide range of vessels including sake cups, teacups, and matcha bowls, he meticulously considers the feel to the lips, ease of holding, and overall comfort of use.

With a subtle presence, these vessels enhance food and drinks. They are designed for you to enjoy the changing expressions of the glaze and light each time you use them.

 

For a Special Gift

The works are delivered in a wooden box personally signed by the artist.

The scenery created by the kiln transformation is unique to each piece, with each possessing its own singular expression.

Izumi's works, born from his long-standing dedication to glazes, are also highly recommended as special gifts.

These are vessels with a strong presence that will grow more cherished with each use.

Shop Owner's Comment

The golden shimmer floating within the deep black Tenmoku glaze is beautiful, showing a brilliant expression depending on how the light hits it.

Though small, it has a strong presence and will make your time enjoying sake feel special.

It will be delivered in a wooden box personally signed by the artist, making it an excellent gift.
