Maker / Brand
At Bizan Kiln, each product is hand-painted by artisans who put in their hearts and souls. The viscosity of the paint, brushes, and techniques used are frequently adjusted based on the design, and each piece is finished by hand. The graceful, delicate, yet bold colors and sense of dignity are typical of Kutani ware.
Because the temperature and position of pieces in the kiln results in natural variations, every single piece is unique. Paints are applied to give a textured, three-dimension feel, expressing the warmth of handcrafting.
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.

Soba Choko Cups
Soba choko cups are primarily designed to hold dipping broth accompanying soba, but they are also used for drinking tea and sake. Soba choko on the larger side are similar in size to yunomi cups, making them just right for casual tea drinking, while those on the smaller side are closer to guinomi cups, perfect for elegant sips of sake.
Regardless of how you use them, the versatility and charm of a soba choko make them a stylish and convenient addition to any table.
Yellow
In Japan, where seasons reign and the emperor's chrysanthemum blooms yellow, the color yellow embodies autumn's joy and translates beautifully to tableware, infusing settings with a vibrant and celebratory spirit.
Yellow, one of the gosai, or "five colors," of Kutani ware, adorns Japanese tableware pieces in styles from traditional to modern.
