White Fine Drawing Kutani Owl Figurine
This is a white owl figurine made of Kutani ware porcelain. It is painted with a technique known as "Gosai," a characteristic of Kutani ware, using five colors: red, yellow, green, purple, and dark blue in soft colors, and applying a thick layer of paint.
The round shape, small size, and fine paint overlay are lovely, and the design is suitable for a modern room.
In Japan, the owl has long been considered a bird of good omen for prosperity in business.
It is also appreciated as a god of learning and a bird of longevity.
It is also regarded as the god of wisdom in Europe and a bird that brings happiness in China.
Owl figurines are said to bring good luck when placed in places where people gather a lot, for example, in the living room or entryway.
This is a great gift for people who love Japanese culture and art.

I absolutely love this little creature. His face is so cute, the color is beautiful. It makes me so happy. I look on the Musubi Kiln website daily. When this owl popped up I knew I had to have him. I have purchased quite a few things from Musubi Kiln, everything has been unique and gorgeous. Each package is perfectly wrapped. The items ship out quickly. I love this group of artisans.
