Maker / Brand
At Bizan Kiln, every piece is hand-painted by highly skilled artisans. The viscosity of the pigments, the choice of brushes, and the painting techniques are carefully adjusted for each design, ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same.
Layers of pigment are applied to achieve a rich, three-dimensional surface, imbuing each piece with the warmth and vitality that only true handcraft can convey. The graceful balance of delicacy and boldness, expressed through vivid hues and confident brushwork, embodies the refined beauty that defines Kutani ware and lies at the heart of Bizan Kiln’s artistry.

Yoshidaya
The Yoshidaya style, one of the most celebrated traditional styles of Kutani ware, was pioneered by Yoshidaya Denemon in 1824. This style, inheriting the ko-Kutani tradition, distinguishes itself by using an exclusive palette of four colors—yellow, green, navy blue and purple—deliberately avoiding red. The designs are intricate, featuring motifs set against patterned background and expressed through layers of overglaze to create a sense of depth and complexity.
Despite Yoshidaya Kiln closing its doors after just seven years, its works have garnered the highest accolades in late Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE) Kutani ware.
