“Bizen” is the ancient name for the southeastern area of Okayama Prefecture, and the “Yinbeyaki” under the category of Bizen Ware produced in the area is the most representative. The two pieces of works are called “Tokkuri” (Sake bottle with smaller bottle mouth and bigger body) and “Sakenomi” (Sake cup), respectively. In 2004, the producer Isezaki Jun was designated as Living National Treasure by the MEXT in Japan.
