Soukyu Kiln

Founded in 2017, Soukyu Kiln is a new Kutani ware kiln located in Nomi, Ishikawa Prefecture. The studio is operated by Sakurai Chie, a ceramic artist, and her husband.

They are particularly keen on the Kutani gosai, the five colors of Kutani ware: red, blue, yellow, navy blue, and purple. The charm of their work is the careful decoration, using their own unique blend of paints and repeatedly putting them in the kiln until the colors are satisfactory. The vivid, transparent and glossy paint is very beautiful and full of the warmth of handwork.

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.
