The name of Kutani-yaki comes from Kutani Village in Enuma County, Kaga Province (near Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture today). Its origin can be traced back to the early Edo period, when porcelain was fired in Kutani Village deep in the Yamanaka Onsen in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Kutani ware uses its unique "Kutani Five Colors" - five Japanese hard color pigments of green, yellow, red, purple and indigo, to "paint" (i.e. the technique of painting patterns on the glaze), presenting a colorful and rich visual effect. This has also become one of its most distinctive features. With the evolution of the times, Kutani ware has been constantly innovating and integrating traditional and modern designs. It not only retains the classic five-color style, but also actively connects with contemporary popular culture. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54676295650_7a3c881737_b.jpg&width=1000 Japanese Lucky Cat Daruma Store (Ourlittlezone) Established in 2018 and provides online shopping services Loved by local and overseas customers Since 2021, we have worked with Kyoto Kiyomizu-yaki Workshop to launch original Lucky Cat and Daruma decorations.
