One of the most captivating aspects of Kutani ware is its vibrant colors. The artist, Kitamura Takashi, inspired by ko-Kutani ware, employs his research and color-mixing techniques to create a vivid painting using the Kutani go-sai "five colors." Various forms of pink cherry blossoms and lifelike cranes come together to form an exceptionally beautiful scene.
Through this artwork, the artist conveys a sense of opulence and elegance. The meticulously crafted gold leaf background emits a gentle glow reminiscent of warm spring sunlight, while the adorable pink cherry blossoms combined with the auspicious cranes present a scene of prosperity and grandeur.
