小西陶古

There were a lot of items, but I thought that the staff was not good.

You can meet works that you can't see in other shops.

I bought a bottle of crab. it's the best.

If you want to buy an edged Bizen ware based on tradition, this is recommended.

You will be served a little sloppy customer. I've bought this work before.

The kiln was founded by the first Konishi Toko, who invented the technique of pier-cutting, and is currently managed by the third generation, Konishi Tozo. In addition, it is sold not only in Okayama prefecture but also in famous department stores in the metropolitan area and Kinki area, and the sales channel is expanding nationwide, so it can be said that it is a famous kind in the world of Bizen ware. Kiln works (created by multiple craftsmen from the kiln) are on sale here (Mr. Tozo's works are exhibited and sold in the gallery opposite). There are many variations of vessels and various techniques of Bizen ware are used, so you won't get tired of just looking at them. Especially, the making of sake sets such as swallowing and sake bottles is wonderful. In addition to the vessels, the high quality of the work is also a feature of this kiln. I think the work of animals such as crabs in the sake set is eye-catching. There were multiple females serving customers, but they were very kind and polite, and I liked them very much. Anyway, he explains each work in detail. I think that the cost performance is high if you use this kind of vessel, so if you are a beginner of Bizen ware, you can consider this as an option. By the way, at the time of the visit, the work of the next generation, Mr. Kaname, which was not seen at other Konishi Toko stores, was also on sale.

Bizen ware kiln. A wonderful lineup where you can feel the policy of the kiln, which is quality rather than quantity. It is difficult to understand the difference between Bizen ware, but this kiln is recommended because it has a wide selection of vessels, plates, and vases, and the crafts are also spectacular.
