Kutani Ware
Kutani ware is characterized by its rich colors and intricate yet bold designs. The hard image of porcelain enhances its unique,華やかな (hanayaka - gorgeous/brilliant) individuality. But why does it seem to have an unrefined, rustic charm? It has a different kind of presence compared to Arita ware's red paintings that utilize space, or Kiyomizu ware's elegant style.
The vibrantly depicted plant and human motifs are lustrous and generously use gold leaf, but rather than being flashy, they convey a solid structure.
Recently, works with interesting shapes, such as intricate crafts and figurines, have also been gaining attention.
The frogs introduced this time fully demonstrate these characteristics. They are good frogs, filled with light colors yet not too light, possessing a certain dignity, yet also a sense of humor. The striking yellow, along with the placed green and orange, also gives them a modern color palette.
Kutani ware is polychrome porcelain made in the southern part of Ishikawa Prefecture.
