Souraku-an is a pottery company headed by Mr. Tsuyoshi Sato, who is a traditional Kutani ware craftsman, and consists of creative and ambitious young craftsmen.It was founded in 2013. Mr. Sato learned Kutani ware technique and also mastered the ink painting technique to create his own unique works.

They value the classical aesthetics of traditional Kutani ware and strive to make the most of the intrinsic charm of materials such as clay and paint.　Each item is individually formed and fired on a potter's wheel, then carefully painted with a brush using the traditional five colors of Kutani ware, and fired again in a kiln. With the aesthetic sense that has been handed down from generation to generation in Kutani ware, they strive to make the most of the intrinsic charm of clay, glaze, and paint.

The Peony Series features large peonies drawn in bold compositions using vivid colors typical of Kutani ware. The combination of the gold color is also beautiful, and the design is suitable for modern dining tables.
