The hidasuki (緋襷) pattern, has become unique feature of Bizen-yaki over the centuries, although it is thought that it’s invention was originally an accident. The pottery pieces are wrapped with rice straw before firing. In the kiln, a chemical reaction occurs between the iron content in the clay and the straw, achieving a distinctive red-colored “flames” pattern.
