Bizan Kiln Hokusai Wave Kutani Round Plate
The plate features a painting of Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa".
Throughout his life, Hokusai painted waves as the main subject of his paintings along with Mount Fuji. Hokusai's expression of the ever-changing movement of water captures the hearts of those who see it, even in modern times.
Each piece is handcrafted by an artisan of Kutani ware. It is painted with Japanese color paints using a brush, as you can see the painted part is slightly thickened.
With the combination of Kutani ware with the masterpiece of the genius artist Hokusai Katsushika, the bowl has truly an eye-stopping charm for anyone.
The size is great for serving side dish, breads, desserts and fruits. It also makes a perfect home decoration when used with an attached stand.

About kutani ware
Kutani ware is a type of pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture and it has a history of over 350 years.
It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of green, yellow, red, purple, and navy blue that are applied to the bold and daring lines.
Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.
In the early 1700s, the Kutani kilns were closed, but about 80 years later they were opened and Kutani ware was revived.
The beauty of the various styles and methods of painting is known as "Japan Kutani" and is highly regarded around the world.
