The traditional technique of Kutani ware is called "Gosai" in Kutaniyaki, in which five colors (red, yellow, green, purple, and navy blue) are applied in a thick layer. The bold overglaze painting makes a strong impression.

This plate is decorated with pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms, all three of which are considered good luck charms, symbolizing strength due to their ability to withstand cold. For this reason, they are often painted on furisode (long-sleeved kimono) for coming-of-age ceremonies and other auspicious occasions.

Pine Tree
The pine tree has long been considered the dwelling place of the gods and is a symbol of "longevity" because it stays green all year round, never withers, and has a long life span. It is also used as a New Year's kadomatsu, giving the impression of a familiar and festive tree.

Bamboo
Bamboo is a symbol of "growth" because it keeps its green color even in cold winters and grows straight even in snow. Bamboo is also used as a symbol of a child, implying the need for moderation in one's behavior as one moves straight ahead in life.

Ume (Japanese apricot)
Plum trees are considered a symbol of "female strength" because they grow buds even when buried in snow and bloom beautifully in the spring. Therefore, it is also considered to be a happy pattern suitable for marriage and childbirth. It is often used as the company emblem of Tenjin-sama, and as the flower loved by Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning, it is also said to be "the flower to pray for academic success.

 

This product is recommended for both daily use and as a gift.

How to care for Kutani ware

Care and Maintenance

Adorned with exquisite floral colors and gold paint doesn’t mean it was designed just for display. 

Kutani pottery was designed and made for daily joy.

Hand washing is recommended whenever possible

You can use a soft sponge and a mild detergent to clean the dish. It is important to wash gently with a soft sponge or cloth.​ 

While you can use a dishwasher, we recommend hand washing as much as possible for some items such as those made of gold and silver, which tend to peel off after a long period of use.​

Be careful with microwave ovens

Do not use products made of gold or silver in the microwave or oven. 

Sparks may fly off and cause the surface to become dirty or damaged.​

Rapid temperature change

Do not use products made of gold or silver in the microwave or oven. 

Sparks may fly off and cause the surface to become dirty or damaged.​
