Endless Glaze Exploration

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

Building on the knowledge cultivated at the Kyoto Municipal Institute of Industrial Technology, he has pursued unique kiln transformation expressions by meticulously verifying changes based on firing temperature, glaze composition, and flame exposure.

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

Nevertheless, changes beyond prediction occur within the kiln, and no two pieces ever have the same appearance.

 


Beautiful Colors Created by Fire

Izumi's Tenmoku and Celadon works display complex color changes produced by firing.

The deep gradations created by the flowing glaze and the delicate kiln transformations resulting from the reaction of mineral components show expressions akin to natural phenomena.

Utensils that Enhance Daily Life

While possessing high artistic merit, Izumi's vessels are created with an emphasis on everyday use.

Based on his long experience in crafting a wide range of vessels including sake cups, teacups, and matcha bowls, he meticulously considers factors such as the feel on the lips, ease of holding, and overall comfort in use.

They possess a quiet presence while enhancing food and drinks. These are vessels that allow you to enjoy the changing expressions of the glaze and light every time you use them.

 

For a Special Gift

The works will be delivered in a wooden box handwritten 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 years of dedication to glazes, are also recommended as special gifts.

These are impressive vessels that deepen in affection the more they are used.
