All of our products are all handmade and hand painted by Master Fujii Kinsai,
therefore each individual item are slightly different each other.
*Kinsai* (Gold Decoration) is a traditional Arita-yaki style characterized by a multi-stage process: underglaze blue painting followed by glazing and firing at 1,300°C; overglaze painting using traditional Arita pigments (incorporating colors like 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 after the application of each color, 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.
*Karakusa* (Arabesque)
The *karakusa* pattern depicts the intertwining vines of a plant. Arita-yaki features a wide variety of these patterns, such as *kiku-karakusa* (chrysanthemum arabesque), *botan-karakusa* (peony arabesque), and *kiri-karakusa* (paulownia arabesque)—which combine vines with flowers, leaves, or fruit—as well as the *tako-karakusa* (octopus arabesque) pattern, named for its resemblance to the suction cups on an octopus's tentacles. Admired by all for its perfected beauty as a traditional motif, it appears frequently on Arita-yaki and Imari-yaki wares. Because the arabesque pattern extends endlessly in all directions, it is considered an auspicious design symbolizing longevity and prosperity.
*Ko-Imari* (Old Imari) Style
Ceramics produced in the Hizen region (modern-day Saga and Nagasaki prefectures) from the late 17th to the late 18th century were exported to European nations via the port of Imari. Consequently, these Hizen ceramics came to be known both domestically and internationally as "Imari-yaki" (or "Old Imari") after the port's name. Characterized by deep underglaze blue tones, the lavish use of red and gold pigments, and floral patterns that cover the entire surface of the vessel, this style is thought to reflect the affluent spirit of the Genroku era. The Hizen ceramics that reached Europe were highly prized and displayed in royal palaces and aristocratic mansions. This graceful and magnificent style, which captivated 17th-century Europe, remains beloved today and endures as a signature style of Arita ware.
