Introduction to Kutani Ware Styles: Old Kutani (Kokutani) by Goto Saijiro (approximately 360 years ago) The early "Old Kutani" style was promoted by the Daishoji Domain around the Meireki era (1655). Under the guidance of Hisumi Morikage, a master of the Kano school of Japanese painting, it uses five colors: blue (green), yellow, red, purple, and dark blue. With its painterly, bold composition and free yet delicate lines, it can be said to be the most characteristic Kutani style.
Kutani ware is highly regarded worldwide as one of Japan's three major types of overglaze enamel porcelain, and as a representative traditional craft of Japan, known as "Japan Kutani."
Perfect for gifts: Recommended for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, retirement celebrations, 60th birthday celebrations, 70th birthday celebrations, 77th birthday celebrations, birthday presents, and more!
≪Kutani Ware≫ The traditional beauty of Kaga, a domain worth one million koku.
The bold and magnificent style, exemplified by the Kaga domain's million-koku rice production, is unmatched by other pottery. Even after 360 years since the kiln's founding, the techniques continue to be passed down and are highly regarded worldwide. [Ishidatami-mon (Stone Pavement Pattern)] This is the oldest geometric pattern in Old Kutani ware. It is a design based on the stone pavements used in shrines, temples, and approach paths, and is considered a very auspicious pattern. A distinctive feature is the depiction of auspicious phoenixes in various places.
