Kutani ware, known overseas as a traditional work of art, 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 are the arts of "Kinsai" and "Ginsai". Each pattern, meticulously crafted by hand using gold and silver 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 style.
