Kutani Yaki: Traditional crafts for everyday enjoyment
Good for use and good for gifts.
World Class Japan Kutani
Kutani ware has a 360-year history. The Ko-Kutani style, which is said to have originated in the early Edo period, is still popular today, and during the Meiji period (1868-1912), beautiful Kutani ware such as the Shozo style was exported and was highly appreciated overseas as Japan Kutani ware.
And now, Kutani-yaki is used as a traditional Japanese craft that can be used in everyday life. Kutaniyaki has become a traditional Japanese craft that can be used in everyday life and is loved not only in Japan, but also throughout the world. The charm of Kutaniyaki lies in its variety of expression. There are a variety of techniques and styles, including Gosai-te (five-color technique) using Kutani Gosai (green, yellow, purple, dark blue, and red), Akae Hosoge (fine red painting), Sai-glaze, Underglaze Kinsai, and many others. Each piece has its own beauty, including the weight and transparency of the Japanese colors, the luster of the glaze, and the precision of the overglaze painting.
The variety of styles is so great that it is said that there are as many styles as there are artists and potters. Kutani-yaki is a traditional craft that is a pleasure to choose, a pleasure to give, and a pleasure to love every time you use it. We hope you will enjoy Kutani yaki for many years to come.
