The clay used in Bizen ware is primarily categorized into two types: \"tando\" (field clay) and \"sando\" (mountain clay). This particular work utilizes mountain clay, which, compared to field clay, has a coarser texture and a higher iron content.

A subtle \"goma\" (sesame) pattern emerges where ash has melded into the clay, while the overall form exhibits a natural undulation. The body tapers from the shoulders to the base, and although the rim rises slightly, it has been subtly distorted due to the kiln's heat and the contact with other vessels. This imperfection exudes a sense of life, reflecting the allure of Bizen pottery that embraces the principles of nature, making it a true embodiment of organic form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBizen ware, known for its durability as a functional object, is deeply rooted in daily life.
