The artisan employs a 12th-century technique of Bizen pottery, known for firing without any glaze. The shirahana series is fired in a kerosene kiln to maintain the neutral tone. In contrast, the typical bizen red-toned vessels are created in a wood-fired noborigama ascending kiln, even though both shirahana and bizen use the same clay.
