Seikou Kiln

Founded in the early Taisho era (1912 CE–1926 CE) in Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Seikou Kiln has long been dedicated to the art of Japanese overglaze painting for Kutani ware. Through years of research, Seikou Kiln perfected a high-quality technique to transfer designs and patterns using printed sheets, all created in-house. This method captures the same level of transparency in glassy glazes and the depth of thick overglaze paints as traditional hand-painting. Their work has earned prestigious awards, such as the Japan Tourism Agency's Charming Japanese Souvenir Contest.

Kutani ware is a 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.

The beauty of the various styles and methods of painting is known as "Japan Kutani" and is highly regarded around the world.
