This is a high quality, elegant and beautiful white Kutani ware from Myosen Tobo, a kiln under the Imperial Household Agency.
"Katauchi" is a traditional technique that has been used for 400 years. The light, thin, intricate and beautiful shapes of the vessels produced by Myosen Tobo using this technique are appealing. There are no painted surfaces, and the only color is the original Kutani white with a light grayish tint. At first glance, it looks simple, but its shape is delicate and graceful, and it exudes a unique beauty.
It is a unique beauty. It is also a vessel that makes the food served on it look more attractive.
The katauchi technique is a technique in which a vessel is placed on a mold, which is drawn with a clay plate, and the pattern and shape of the mold is copied to produce the finished product. The technique requires a high level of skill in drawing thin, uniform thickness and the same size as the mold, and delicate handwork is required. Due to the high level of skill and the time and effort required, the number of pottery studios using this technique is decreasing nationwide.
The product is packaged in a special box and is recommended as a gift.
