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 painting followed by firing at 1,300°C; overglaze painting using traditional Arita pigments (red, green, blue, yellow, etc.) 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 process involves five to ten separate firings. It is a magnificent and dignified style that incorporates brilliant gold accents alongside 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 is applied to white porcelain—previously fired at 1,300°C—and then fired again at 800°C to bond the metal. The process involves firing the piece after each color is applied—totaling six to ten firings—with the platinum applied and fired last. The platinum bonded to 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, shimmering brilliance. It is a luxurious style that fuses Arita-yaki traditions with a modern sensibility.
**Folding Fans (*Ougi* / *Sensu*)**
Folding fans are considered auspicious because they spread out into a fan shape, symbolizing "ever-expanding prosperity" (*suehirogari*). In Arita-yaki and Imari-yaki designs, fan-shaped panels (*madoe*) are frequently used to frame depictions of flowers, birds, and other motifs. This elegant design is a traditional auspicious pattern that embodies the wish for happiness to endure forever.
**Blue Ocean Waves (*Seigaiha*)**
This is a geometric pattern featuring wave motifs arranged in fan-like shapes and layered in an alternating, overlapping fashion. Its perfected beauty as a traditional pattern has made it universally beloved, appearing frequently in *Iro-Nabeshima* and *Ko-Imari* (Old Imari) works. It is an auspicious pattern that conveys a wish for a peaceful life to continue eternally, much like the ceaseless waves rolling across an endless ocean.
