This beautifully crafted Kutaniyaki set showcases six distinct styles of hand-painted ceramic cups, each representing a unique traditional Kutani porcelain pattern. The bold, vivid colors and intricate designs are inspired by six classic schools of Kutani artistry: Kokutani, Yoshidaya, Mokubei, Eiraku, Iidaya, and Shozan.

  • Kokutani (古九谷): Known for its expressive use of bold blues, yellows, and purples with floral and mountain motifs, capturing a dynamic and freehand style.
  • Yoshidaya (吉田屋): Building on the Kokutani foundation, it uses strong green, yellow, and blue, but avoids red to create a distinctively robust and earthy tone.
  • Mokubei (木米): Recognized for its striking red backgrounds, Mokubei designs feature human figures and objects, painted with a sense of depth and texture.
  • Eiraku (永楽): Characterized by the use of red and gold, Eiraku pieces often depict elaborate floral motifs and refined lines.
  • Iidaya (飯田屋): Distinguished by its detailed red line work and the addition of gold accents, creating an ornate and richly decorative effect.
  • Shozan (庄三): Incorporates Western painting techniques, bringing a sophisticated fusion of Japanese and European aesthetics into the design.

Each cup in this set features one of these celebrated designs, blending the vibrant traditional Kutani colors (green, yellow, purple, red, and Prussian blue) with modern elegance. This collection is perfect for tea, sake, or as a stunning gift to display the timeless beauty of Kutani ware.
