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.

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 motifs set against patterned background and expressed through layers of overglaze to create a sense of depth and complexity.
Despite 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.
