Kutani Ware
Originating in Kaga, Ishikawa Prefecture, Kutani ware has been cherished for over 360 years as one of Japan’s most distinctive ceramic traditions. Known for its vivid colors and refined overglaze painting, it features the traditional “Kutani gosai” palette of red, yellow, green, purple, and deep blue. Each piece reflects the harmony between bold artistry and delicate craftsmanship, with expressive brushwork that conveys both elegance and vitality. Honoring centuries of skill while embracing creative modern design, these works continue to bring color and character to everyday life.Teaware
Japanese teaware includes teapots and tea cups, tea sets, tea caddies, scoops, and strainers. Artisan Japanese teaware is handcrafted in small workshops and kilns throughout the country, and are typically made in small batches with care and attention to every step of the process. Their handmade nature exudes a warmth and individual character not possible with mass-produced teaware.
