What is "Kutani-yaki"??

Ceramics produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa prefecture. The characteristic is the overpainting on which multicolored pictures are drawn. The heavy brilliance of Japanese paint, which is painted in five colors of green, yellow, red, purple, and navy blue, is beautiful on the dynamic and brilliant line drawing.

Each kiln has its own style of painting, and the "Aote" in Kutani and the "Aka-e fine drawing" in the Miyamotoya kiln are characteristic. In addition, the technique called Kinrande, which appeared in the Meiji era, became popular all over the world and became famous worldwide under the name of "Japan Kutani".

Beginning in the early Edo period in the middle of the 17th century, it created a unique and powerful stylistic beauty that combines generosity and brilliance, but suddenly stopped being made at the end of the 17th century (Kutani ware until then is called "Kutani"). .. After that, it was revived around 1800 ("Revival Kutani"). Many fans and researchers are interested in this mysterious history.
