therefore each individual item are slightly different each other.
*Kinsai* (Gold Decoration) is a traditional Arita ware style characterized by a multi-stage process: underglaze painting followed by firing at 1,300°C; overglaze painting using traditional Arita pigments (incorporating colors such as red, green, blue, and yellow) followed by firing at 800°C; and finally, the application of gold patterns for decoration. Because the piece is fired once for each color applied, the creation of a single work involves five to ten separate firings. It is a magnificent and dignified style that combines brilliant gold decoration with inventive color schemes and layouts.
*Somenishiki Platinum-sai* (Underglaze Blue & Overglaze Enamel with Platinum) is a unique technique developed by Kinsai Fujii, in which platinum accents are applied to white porcelain—previously fired at 1,300°C—and then fired again at 800°C to bond the platinum to the surface. The process involves firing the piece after the application of each color—totaling six to ten firings—with the platinum applied and fired in the final stage. The platinum applied across the surface creates subtle nuances of light and shadow; its luster shifts depending on the angle of the light and the viewer's perspective, ensuring a constant, radiant gleam. It is a luxurious style that fuses the traditions of Arita ware with a modern sensibility.
Dragon
The dragon is an imaginary creature revered as a divine beast belonging to the celestial realm; it is said to inhabit the waters, soar through the air on clouds, and possess supernatural power. Ranked alongside the tortoise, *qilin* (kirin), and phoenix as one of the "Four Auspicious Creatures," the dragon held special significance in China. From the Yuan Dynasty onwards, "dragon patterns" adorned the robes of the Emperor and were strictly prohibited for use outside the imperial court. In Japan, too, the dragon has been cherished since the Heian and Kamakura periods, with its motif appearing in a wide variety of art forms, including paintings and ceramics. It is considered an auspicious symbol believed to bring success in life and career, boost one's fortune, foster business growth, and protect people from all manner of calamities.
