All of our products are all handmade and hand painted by Master Fujii Kinsai,

therefore each individual item are slightly different each other.

*Sometsuke* (blue-and-white ware) is a technique in which a design is painted onto a porcelain body using *gosu*—a pigment primarily composed of cobalt oxide—before a transparent glaze is applied and the piece is fired at high temperatures to produce a deep, beautiful indigo hue. Originating in Arita ware approximately four hundred years ago, this style has evolved into one of Japan's most iconic forms of ceramic decoration. The shade of indigo varies subtly depending on factors such as the cobalt oxide mixture, the glaze, the porcelain clay, and firing conditions, resulting in a diverse range of expressions—from vivid blue and soft, pale indigo to a rich, evocative deep indigo. Appreciating these delicate nuances in color and the unique character they impart is a major part of the appeal of *sometsuke*.
