Characteristics of Kutani ware design

Gorgeous and gorgeous painting
The greatest feature of Kutani ware is the vivid and powerful use of colors (Kutani Gosai).
Green (blue-green)/yellow/purple/navy blue/red
Using a technique called overglaze painting, the glaze is painted and then fired again. This creates a three-dimensional and vivid color.

Various designs
There is a wide range of designs, from classical landscapes, flower and bird paintings, and portraits to modern abstract patterns.
The patterns are detailed and delicate, but also luxurious and powerful.

Artistic and practical
Kutani ware is highly regarded as an aesthetic work of art, but it is also used as an everyday item such as a teacup, adding color to daily life.
