Origin

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.

Rice Bowls
Rice bowls are indispensable tableware for the Japanese dining table. Since they are used so often for Japanese food, many people are particular about them. It is important to choose one that is not only beautiful to look at, but is also the right size for your hand and easy to hold.
We recommend that you get a dedicated rice bowl for each member of your family. It's also a good idea to have a few available for different occasions, in varying colors and patterns that match the season and table setting.
Yoshidaya
The Yoshidaya style, one of the most celebrated traditional styles of Kutani ware, was pioneered by Yoshidaya Denemon in 1824. This style, inheriting the ko-Kutani tradition, distinguishes itself by using an exclusive palette of four colors—yellow, green, navy blue and purple—deliberately avoiding red. The designs are intricate, featuring a main motif set against a background pattern and expressed through layers of overglaze to create a sense of depth and complexity.
Despite the Yoshidaya Kiln closing its doors after just seven years, its works have garnered the highest accolades in late Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE) Kutani ware.
