*Sometsuke* refers to ware decorated with patterns in a single shade of blue. This style originated in Arita-yaki (Arita ware) 400 years ago. The process involves applying an underglaze design to the porcelain body using a pigment known as *gosu*—composed of materials such as cobalt oxide, manganese, iron, and kaolin—followed by the application of a clear glaze and subsequent firing, which causes the design to develop its characteristic blue color. The specific shade of blue varies depending on factors such as the amount of cobalt oxide used, the glaze composition, the type of porcelain clay, and the firing method; the resulting hues range from vivid indigo to pale tones or deep, dark-tinged blues. Appreciating these subtle variations and the unique character of the color is one of the true pleasures of *sometsuke*. Introduced to Arita via China and the Korean Peninsula, the style is celebrated for its elegance and beauty, combining the warmth of white porcelain with the simplicity of single-color blue decoration.
Quail (*Uzura*)
The quail is a migratory bird of the pheasant family, characterized by a round body, a short tail, and reddish-brown plumage speckled with black, yellow, and white markings. Long a popular subject in crafts and paintings, the quail is considered a charming, heartwarming, and gentle motif. Because the bird's call sounds like the Japanese phrase *go-kitchō* (meaning "an auspicious omen"), it is regarded as a highly lucky symbol that brings good fortune.
