Bizen was a little behind the field, only obtaining a unique process and getting it off the ground at the beginning of the Muromachi Era (with only temperatures of 1200°C, [2192°F], Bizen used slow firing to realize hardnesses in excess of those at Tokoname, etc., with 1250°C, 2282°F). It grew to obtain an 85% share of all pottery in the area around the capital, the Japanese consumption region with the greatest economic activity at the time.
