Maker / Brand
Founded in 2017, Soukyu Kiln is a new Kutani ware kiln located in Nomi, Ishikawa Prefecture. The studio is operated by Ms. Chie Sakurai, a ceramic artist, and her husband.
They are particularly keen on the "Kutani Gosai", five colors of Kutani ware: red, blue, yellow, navy blue, and purple. The charm of their work is the careful decoration, using their own unique blend of paints and repeatedly putting them in the kiln until the colors are satisfactory. The vivid, transparent and glossy paint is very beautiful and full of the warmth of handwork.
