Four Seasons Series: Cornflower Mug

The Kutani ware technique, which has a history of 360 years, is characterized by its use of five colors (red, green, yellow, purple, and blue) as the foundation. It presents elegant and bold colors with a heavy glaze, creating a glossy transparency in the vessels. The vivid colors of Kutani ware, combined with classic Japanese patterns, have been representative of high-quality tableware for centuries. The Kutani Seikou Kiln in Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, was established during the Taisho period. It devoted itself to the development of Kutani ware painting techniques and successfully developed unique glazes and special transfer printing techniques with a hand-painted texture, reproducing the masterpieces of ancient Kutani in its series. The charm of Kutani ware lies in its use of five colors (red, green, yellow, purple, and blue) as the foundation, presenting elegant colors with a heavy glaze, creating a glossy transparency in the vessels.
