Kutani Ware Yoshidaya Ceramic Mug

Product description

This is a Kutani porcelain mug measuring 8 cm in diameter and 9 cm in height, packaged in a gift box. Kutani ware, known as one of Japan's three major colored porcelain types, is globally recognized as a representative traditional craft of Japan ('Japan Kutani'). The mug is produced in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, and is made of ceramics.

The painting style of Kutani ware is characterized by the Yoshidaya kiln, founded by Toyoda Denemon about 180 years ago to revive the ancient Kutani style. This style incorporates the techniques of the blue-painted ancient Kutani, using four colors: blue (green), yellow, purple, and navy—without red. It features intricate designs with small patterns that create a solid, unique visual experience across the surface of the pottery.

This mug is an excellent gift option for various occasions such as birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, retirement celebrations, and milestone anniversaries like kanreki (60th birthday) and kiyoshi (77th birthday) celebrations, making it a thoughtful present.
