Though it's only been around since 2011, the Daikura brand is informed by the experience of Ogawa Shuzo, a craftsman with almost 50 years' practice working with Bizen ware. For more than a millenium, this type of vessel has been a favorite in Japan due to the popular belief that Bizen ceramics improve flavor, which is probably why Bizen drinkware graces the tables of many high-end restaurants in Japan. It is the goal of Daikura to honor the legacy of Bizen ware by providing ceramics that meet the lofty standards of this age-old art form.
