Hanazume
Hanazume is a classic technique in Kutani ware, where flowers are intricately drawn across the entire surface. After the first firing, detailed floral designs are outlined with gold paint before the final firing. This decorative method, introduced by Shiro Mizuta in Kanazawa City during the Taisho period (1912 CE–1926 CE), beautifully combines vibrant flowers with elegant gold to create a stunning piece.
