Origin
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.

Aochibu & Shirochibu
Aochibu (literally "blue dots") features small, solid blue dots densely drawn on a base color. The technique is said to have become popular during the Taisho period (1912–1916 CE). It is neither exactly painting nor exactly line drawing, but rather falling somewhere in the realm of pointillism.
The rich clusters of dots create marvelous ripple-like patterns. It takes extraordinary skill to draw uniform, tiny dots while retaining the beauty of eaoch cluster. There are color variations of aochibu as well, including shirochibu (white dots) and kinchibu (gold dots).
