Maker / Brand
Nestled at the foot of the sacred Hakusan mountain, Atelier Yu’s workshop is a serene space where inspiration flows from its surrounding natural beauty. Seasonal blooms visible through the windows—cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas and sunflowers in summer, and bush clovers in autumn—often find their way into the artisans' designs, reflecting the charm of wildflowers alongside delightful animal motifs.
Skilled female artisans infuse each piece with gentle, soft colors, embracing the five traditional colors of Kutani ware, known as Kutani Gosai. They imbue each creation with warmth, crafting pottery that brings joy to everyday dining and a smile to all who use it.
Crafts
Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning over 350 years. It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of navy blue, red, purple, green, and yellow 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.
