Product Description
This product is a small bowl crafted using the traditional Kutani ware technique of "Kinsai". This elegant gold small plate is used in Japanese cuisine for condiments, side dishes, pickles and appetizers, adding a luxurious touch to everyday dining tables.
Known overseas as a traditional work of art, Kutani ware has transcended the boundaries of craftsmanship since the late Showa era in Japan (1960s-1980s), evolving from a traditional craft to a fine art. Among the techniques developed during this period is the art of "Kinsai". Each pattern, meticulously crafted by hand using gold foil, possesses a beauty so unique that it truly appears as a unique work of art in the world.
In Nomi City, the heartland of historically rooted Kutani ware, a new kiln named "Soukyuu Kiln" opened its doors in 2017 and immediately became the talk of the town. Embodying the warmth and charm of handmade craftsmanship, they produce a colorful range of pieces, each with its own unique character, that fit seamlessly into modern lifestyles and add a touch of sophistication to chic, contemporary dining tables in a Japanese modern.
