What is Kutani ware ?
Kutani ware (called
Kutani yaki
in Japanese) is a type of pottery manufactured in and around the city of Kaga in Ishikawa prefecture. It is a traditional handicraft that was first produced during the early Edo period (beginning of the 17th century).
Kutani ware's notable features are vivid colors, bold and elegant designs, and a particular technique of overglaze painting. This technique consists of using pigments to paint a pattern over a glaze and then firing the piece again. Because the paint used for the overglaze can be fired at about 800℃ (about 1472℉), there is a wide variety of colors that can be used. This technique is used for other crafts such as Arita ware as well.
Kutani ware are all very colorful but the colors used differ depending on the type of pottery.
Both
kokutani
and
mokubeifu
, use five colors (red, yellow, green, purple, and Prussian blue), commonly referred to as Kutani
gosai
(literally, "the five Kutani colors").
Yoshidayafu
is beautiful with four vivid shades of blue, yellow, purple, and Prussian blue. The red used in
iidayafu
is striking and distinctive.
Eirakufu

shozafu
