From my Bizen Collection, this covered bowl carries the soft, shifting tones of sangiri, a natural transformation that occurs when charcoal is added near the final stage of firing. In that moment, the kiln’s atmosphere changes, and the clay begins to reveal deep shadows, soft ash markings, and earthy transitions that can never be repeated.

The wavy edge moves like the surface of water, while the lid rests gently on top, finished with a small rose — a delicate contrast to the raw strength of the fire.

No glaze, only clay, flame, charcoal, and time.

Made in Bizen during my stay learning the quiet language of the kiln.

Defined by the fire, grounded by tradition. This shallow Bizen bowl features the classic Botamochi style—named after the round shape of traditional rice cakes covered with red bean paste.

These lighter circular patterns are created by placing smaller pieces of clay or “bota” on the plate during firing, shielding the surface from the falling ash.

Hand-thrown by Venice Aka and fired with red pine wood in a climbing kiln, the result is a beautiful, rustic contrast between the iron-rich clay and the toasted ash deposits.

This piece from my Bizen Collection carries the quiet memory of the kiln. Near the end of the firing, charcoal is introduced into the chamber — a moment when the fire changes its breath. In this shifting atmosphere, the clay begins to transform, revealing the sangiri effect: deep shadows of charcoal black, bronze, and soft smoky blues emerging from the surface of the earth itself.

No glaze.
Only clay, fire, ash, and time.

A tokkuri, guinomi, and tray born from those final moments in the kiln — where the fire leaves its signature and the clay remembers.

Made during my stay in Bizen, where every firing feels like a quiet collaboration with the kiln.

A vessel of many homes. This Houhin—a traditional handleless teapot designed for premium teas—is a testament to the intersection of cultures.

Hand-crafted using techniques learned from Bizen master Yasuhiro Ishida, I have infused this piece with my own history. I carved a poem in Baybayin, the ancient script of the Philippines, and crowned the lid with a mangosteen, the fruit of my childhood.

Fired in a Bizen climbing kiln, the Hidasuki (rice straw) patterns wrap around the form like a warm embrace.

Because premium tea is steeped at lower temperatures, the handleless design invites you to feel the warmth directly, a connection between the maker, the tea, and the earth.

Made by Venice Aka.

The magic of Bizen Yohen. This tokkuri, made by Venice Aka during her pottery trip in Bizen, emerged from the climbing kiln with a striking “fire change” (yohen) finish—a natural alchemy of wood ash and extreme heat.

Beyond the visual contrast, there is a hidden function: the organic composition of Bizen clay is celebrated by sake enthusiasts for its ability to soften the profile of the spirit, making every pour smoother and more rounded. Whether served at room temperature or gently warmed, it is a vessel designed for the ultimate sake experience.

Best enjoyed in good company.

A vessel for all hours. This silver-spot Tenmoku chawan finds its home in the quiet mindfulness of morning matcha, yet transitions seamlessly into an evening pour of Ginko or Daiginjo Sake.

Its wide, open form isn’t just for ceremony—it’s designed to aerate and elevate the delicate aromatics of premium sake, turning every sip into a sensory event. Functional art for the modern ritual.

Thank you Bizen for such wonderful opportunity and experience. Here are some of my trip’s highlights. I put together a few clips match with a song I made with AI. ❤️
For more than a month I stayed in Imbe, a pottery town in Bizen, to learn making sake bottle forms and Bizen style wood firing. And to be honest, I really made the most out of this trip. I met many new friends, acquired new knowledge, and grew up a little more. Now I bring back all those lessons and memories with me and use them to inspire my next art works. ❤️
