World class Japan Kutani

Kutani ware has a 360 year history. The Koya style, said to have originated in the early Edo period, is still popular today, and during the Meiji period, beautiful Kutani ware such as the Shozo style was exported and was highly regarded overseas as Japan Kutani.

And now. Kutaniyaki has become a traditional Japanese craft that can be used in everyday life and is loved not only in Japan but all over the world. The appeal of Kutaniyaki lies in its variety of expression. There are various techniques and styles, including Gosai-te (five-colour technique) using Kutani Gosai (green, yellow, purple, dark blue and red), Akae Hosoge, Sai-glaze, Underglaze Gold and many others. Each piece has its own beauty, such as the solidity and transparency of the Japanese colours, the lustre of the glaze and the precision of the overglaze painting.

The variety of styles is such that there are as many styles as there are artists and potters. Kutaniyaki is a traditional craft that is a pleasure to choose, a pleasure to give and a pleasure to use. We hope you will enjoy it for many years to come.
