¿Qué es el estilo Kutani Yoshidaya?
El encanto del estilo Yoshidaya radica en su uso de pigmentos translúcidos y un estilo de pintura delicado, así como en sus diseños refinados.
El encanto del Yoshidaya style reside en el uso de pigmentos translúcidos y un estilo de pintura delicado, así como en sus imágenes refinadas y ejecutadas con extrema habilidad. Se pinta y se cubre con esmalte amarillo: el trabajo de pincel elaborado y rápido aporta ligereza a la pintura. En comparación con el Ko-Kutani style, caracterizado por líneas gosu intensas (líneas de contorno negras), el Yoshidaya style resulta más preciso y delicado.
El horno Yoshidaya, donde se creó el Yoshidaya style, se abrió en la aldea de Kutani, lugar de nacimiento de Ko-Kutani, con el fin de revivir la cerámica Ko-Kutani. Sin embargo, las piezas del Yoshidaya style no fueron meras imitaciones, y se produjeron muchas obras originales de alta calidad artística en el Ko-Kutani Aote style (porcelana de esmalte sobre cubierta de base azul). Los pigmentos utilizados en el Yoshidaya style son más sobrios y austeros que los de Ko-Kutani, y el equilibrio de cada color se integra armoniosamente.
Además, el patrón tejido se cubre con Nanako Komon (formas redondas finas) y puntos, que complementan el patrón principal. Aunque el uso de patrones redondos y punteados difiere de una pieza a otra, se dice que pintarlos en los espacios en blanco crea profundidad en el diseño. Los patrones principales son variados: desde flores, aves, paisajes y personas hasta patrones teñidos, cautivando la mente y el espíritu del observador.
Horno Yoshidaya (1824-31) y Toyoda Den-emon
El horno Yoshidaya se construyó en 1824 junto al horno Kutani en la aldea de Kutani por Toyoda Den-emon. Era un comerciante adinerado del clan Daishoji y un hombre de gran cultura. En sus últimos años, se retiró y se dedicó a la cerámica. A los 72 años, Toyoda decidió recrear la cerámica Ko-Kutani y abrió un horno en la aldea de Kutani con sus propios fondos privados. Aunque sabía que no sería rentable abrir un horno en la aldea de Kutani, ubicada en lo profundo de las montañas y de difícil acceso, se atrevió a asumir el riesgo. Esto se debió a que quería demostrar su firme deseo de reproducir la cerámica Kutani construyendo el horno Yoshidaya junto al horno Kutani dentro de la aldea.
Las obras del Yoshidaya style fueron bien recibidas por aristócratas e intelectuales de la época por su artisticidad y calidad, que se acercaban a las de la cerámica Ko-Kutani. Sin embargo, la búsqueda de calidad sin considerar la rentabilidad causó dificultades al negocio del horno Yoshidaya, y aunque el horno se trasladó a la ciudad de Yamashiro, donde el transporte era más conveniente, lamentablemente cerró después de aproximadamente siete años en 1831.

Please forgive this old man. I revised my post, and thank you again for your time!
Thank you for your help!🥰🤗🖖
My son purchased for my birthday an old Kutani jar, or vase if you prefer. It seems to be a masterpiece. It has the five colors, with the red being a sort of flat non glassy enamel! It has the green kukufuku mark on the bottom. It is made of stoneware that is so heavy it feels like it is filled with sand, and it is empty. 9” tall, and no chips, or cracks. I would like a positive date of manufacture, and place of manufacture. I just read an article that seems to identify that no over glaze was found in shards at the old Kutani kiln site. Plus point’s out that all old Kutani that is surviving is Arita manufactured. This has my head spinning 😵💫. Back to my vase. It seems to be very rare thing.
Forgive me my ignorance. It seems to be in a Aote style of the Edo period. It is not flowers, birds, trees, or people! 🤔 It has a large, and long three clawed Japanese dragon floating all around the entire jar, through a yellow background of vortex interlocking pattern. The dragon has red fire flying off the body, and a red tongue. Smiling like a Korean dragon. There are what appears to be clouds of every combination of the classic colors except red. There are a number of sunburst, or flaming pearl with the same varying combinations purple, light green, and dark blue, and black. No single one is the same. Nothing boring about this jar. The color slaps you in the face. 😁 The dragon also floats above a dark blue water, that is jumping up from the bottom, boiling like a storm, with black line decoration through it. Last it has a vary pleasurable ice crackle through out the jar in every color except red. I have search everywhere for another KoKutni like this, and have found non. It seem to have a white under glaze on the inside. It has a three-de magical effect to it. Every part of the jar is covered in enamel except the foot. If you would like photos please send me email link to send them.
Thank you for your time!
