Ginsai

Ginsai refers to techniques used to apply silver leaf or silver paint to ceramics. Both terms also refer to the works produced by these techniques. Silver leaf or paint is applied over the ceramics’ glaze or overglaze decoration and then fired at a lower temperature than the overglaze itself. 

Silver slowly oxidizes if left in contact with air, resulting in elegantly subdued tones. In contrast with gold’s dazzling presence, gleaming silver exhibits graceful beauty.

Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture and it has a history of over 350 years. 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.

The beauty of the various styles and methods of painting is known as "Japan Kutani" and is highly regarded around the world.
