Collection: Kutani ware Vase (less than 18cm)
Kutani ware vases are distinguished by their vibrant colors and intricate painting, representing one of Japan’s premier traditional crafts. Originating from the Kaga region, Kutani ware is renowned for its vivid gosai (five-color palette of red, blue, yellow, purple, and green), which brings out a unique beauty in the vases crafted with these techniques.
Contemporary Kutani artists not only continue traditional motifs but also create works with modern designs and unique shapes. Some artists are known for techniques like the finely detailed akae saibyo (red line drawing) or the three-dimensional icchin technique, which adds raised lines, giving each piece a distinct beauty and personality. Many Kutani vases also feature auspicious patterns, such as cranes, pine trees, and waves—symbols of happiness and prosperity.
Kutani ware vases are valued not only as containers for flowers but also as standalone art pieces that bring an air of elegance and a distinctly Japanese aesthetic to any space.
