"Fusion of Tradition and Modernity"

We believe that rather than preserving tradition, collaboration with areas that have never crossed paths will create a chemical reaction. In the midst of changing lifestyles, both Japanese and Western, we will build a new era by creating products that blend into modern life.

KUTANI WARE

About 370 years ago / 1650s / Edo Period (1603–1868)

Kutani ware is traditionally traced to a kiln established in Kutani village around 1655 under the Daishoji domain. The first Ko-Kutani production ended after only several decades, but a nineteenth-century revival created a series of influential kilns—Kasugayama, Yoshidaya, Miyamotoya and others—and established the broad family of styles known today.

In Japan, Kutani is immediately associated with bold overglaze color, often covering much of the vessel. It remains popular for gifts and display pieces, while contemporary artists work in very different traditions, including aka-e red painting, aode green-dominant decoration and extensive gold.

The classic palette is known as the Kutani Five Colors: deep blue, green, yellow, purple and red. Aode pieces can almost eliminate red and saturate the surface with green and yellow. Few ceramic traditions contain so many distinct “schools” of painting under a single regional name.

Individual Differences

As each piece is individually handcrafted, slight variations in color, pattern, shape, and texture may occur. These subtle differences are a natural characteristic of handcrafted works, making each piece truly unique. We hope you will enjoy these individual variations as part of the beauty and character of Japanese craftsmanship.

Production Time

If an item is not currently in stock, it may be made to order by the artisan. As each piece is carefully handcrafted, production may take several months depending on the item and the artisan's schedule. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
