Maker / Brand
Choho Kiln was founded by Nishi Chosaku, who, together with his brother Taikichi, pioneered the application of mori-e to Kutani ware figurines in the late Taisho period (1912–1926 CE). Originally used on flat surfaces, this raised enamel technique proved exceptionally suited to sculptural works such as maneki neko, lucky cats, and soon became a defining decorative method for Kutani porcelain figures.
Today, the third generation preserves the mori-e tradition while continuing to explore new possibilities within this decorative Kutani ware style.
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.
