Made in Japan Introduction to Kutani-yaki Kutani-yaki, the brilliant gem of Japanese painted ceramics It is a painted ceramic that represents traditional Japanese craftsmanship, originating from the Minami-Kaga region in the southern part of Ishikawa Prefecture It is known as the pinnacle of painted ceramics for its exquisite craftsmanship and brilliant colors With a long history of more than 360 years, Kutani-yaki has become one of the most representative porcelain crafts in Japan Not only is it famous for its bright and dazzling colors, but also for its innovative spirit that keeps pace with the times It is deeply loved by enthusiasts in Japan and around the world. The name of Kutani-yaki comes from Kutani Village in Enuma County, Kaga Province (near Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture today). Its origins 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" (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 Not only has it retained the classic five-color style, but it has also actively connected with contemporary popular culture. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54681486927_767b72c69a_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.
