Bizen Noborigama, consisting of five chambers,
photo taken in 1997.

 

 

   

One of the techniques used in this style kiln is to shovel charcoal into one or more of the chambers at the end of the firing. 
The pots acquire dark hues from the reduction cooling, with rough surfaces. 
I  particularly like the look of Bizen pots.
