Souraku-an was founded in 2013 by Sato Tsuyoshi, an artisan who excels in both traditional Kutani ware techniques and Japanese ink painting. With a team of creative and ambitious young craftspeople, Souraku-san creates unique designs that beautifully balance traditional and modern.

Souraku-an values the classical charm of Kutani ware and creates pieces that highlight the inherent charm of materials like clay and pigments. Every item is formed and painted by hand. With an aesthetic sense that has been handed down from generation to generation of artists, Souraku-an’s designs make a beautiful addition to any table.
