The painting style of Ko-Kutani, which originated in the early Edo period, continues to be loved by many people today. In the Meiji era, magnificent Kutani ware such as the Shozo style was exported and received high praise overseas as "Japan Kutani." Currently, Kutani ware has evolved into a craft that can be used in everyday life and is widely popular both in Japan and abroad. The charm of Kutani ware lies above all in its diverse expressions. There are various techniques and painting styles, such as Gosai-de using the five Kutani colors (green, yellow, purple, dark blue, and red), precise red painting, colored glaze, and underglaze gold decoration. The richness and transparency of the Japanese pigments, the luster created by the glaze, and the exquisite beauty of the overglaze decoration give each piece its own unique brilliance. The richness of the variations is said to be as numerous as the number of artists and kilns. The joy of choosing, the pleasure of giving, and the affection that grows with each use—Kutani ware is a traditional craft that can be cherished for a long time.
