From the Momoyama period to the Edo period, excellent potters emerged and gained fame. From the Kamakura period to the present day, it has been fired at high temperatures without the use of glaze. The beautiful color variations of "yohen" (kiln transformation) that appear depending on the firing conditions are a characteristic feature. The "phantom beauty" that combines the texture of the clay, the color of the fire, and the sense of wabi-sabi is considered the highest form of beauty. The kiln transformation, which is unique to Bizen and is achieved through the clay and firing techniques, is truly ever-changing and can be said to be a marvel of nature.
