Work of Fire / Father and Son maintain a tradition of Bizen-yaki.
備前焼の伝統を守る親子（人間国宝）／藤原 啓，藤原 雄
Work of Fujiwara Kei ( Father:1899~1983 ) Fujiwara Yu ( son: 1932~2001 ) both were Living National Treasure of Japan.
Bizen ware (備前焼 Bizen-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery most identifiable by its ironlike hardness, reddish brown color, absence of glaze, and markings resulting from wood-burning kiln firing.Bizen is named after the village of Imbe in Okayama prefecture, formerly known as Bizen province. This artwork is Japan's oldest pottery making technique, introduced in the Heian period. Bizen is one of the six remaining kilns of medieval Japan.Bizen clay bodies have a high iron content, and traditionally, much organic matter that is unreceptive to glazing. The clay can take many forms.The surface treatments of Bizen wares are entirely dependent on yohen, or "kiln effects." Pine ash produces goma, or "sesame seed" glaze spotting. Rice straw wrapped around pieces creates red and brown scorch marks. The placement of pieces in a kiln causes them to be fired under different conditions, with a variety of different results. Considering that one clay body and type of firing is used, the variety of results is remarkable.
