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.

Sake Sets
When preparing to enjoy fine sake, start by choosing the right sake set. Sake is delicate—its flavor shifts with temperature and air, making the choice of carafe essential, whether a ceramic tokkuri, a metal chirori, or a graceful katakuchi. Pair them with cups that complement the sake, ochoko, guinomi, or sakazuki, each offering its own shape and character.
A well-chosen sake set transforms the simple act of pouring into a ritual, enhancing both flavor and atmosphere. Explore our collection to assemble a set that reflects your way of enjoying sake.
Hanazume
Hanazume is a classic Kutani ware technique in which flowers are intricately drawn across an 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 stunning pieces.
