Hokusai Kuro Fuji Decorative Plate
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This plate features “Kuro(Black)Fuji", said to be a twin of "Aka(Red)Fuji" by Katsushika Hokusai.
Different from the majestic and generous Fuji in "Aka Fuji," "Kuro Fuji" depicts a wild and stormy Mt Fuji with the summer cumulonimbus clouds and lightning, giving the impression of nature's strength and dynamism.
Hokusai draws many pictures with Mt. Fuji as a motif. Mt. Fuji, a mountain loved by Japanese people, changes its appearance surprisingly depending on the season and weather, but Hokusai's deep observation and skillful expressiveness give each painting a depth and wonderful impression.
The size is great for serving side dishes, breads, desserts and fruits. It also makes a perfect home decoration when used with a stand.
It is a perfect gift for people who love Japanese art and culture.

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.
