Maker / Brand
At Bizan Kiln, every piece is hand-painted by highly skilled artisans. The viscosity of the pigments, the choice of brushes, and the painting techniques are carefully adjusted for each design, ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same.
Layers of pigment are applied to achieve rich, three-dimensional surfaces, imbuing each piece with the warmth and vitality that only true handcraft can convey. The graceful balance of delicacy and boldness, expressed through vivid hues and confident brushwork, embodies the refined beauty that defines Kutani ware and lies at the heart of Bizan Kiln’s artistry.

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.
