Bizen is a city located in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, with a rich cultural heritage particularly known for its pottery tradition. The city has been a major center of ceramic production since the Kamakura period (1185-1333), giving its name to the famous Bizen ware (Bizen-yaki), one of Japan's oldest ceramic traditions. This distinctive style of pottery is characterized by its unglazed, reddish-brown surfaces and natural ash deposits created during wood-firing.

Beyond its pottery heritage, Bizen features historical sites including the ruins of Bizen Kokubunji Temple, one of Japan's provincial temples established in the 8th century. The city's landscape is characterized by both traditional pottery workshops and modern ceramic museums, offering visitors insights into both historical and contemporary Japanese ceramic arts.
