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 ware style characterized by a multi-stage process: underglaze blue painting followed by glazing and firing at 1,300°C; applying traditional Arita overglaze enamels (in colors such as red, green, blue, and yellow) and firing at 800°C; and finally adding gold patterns for decoration. Because the piece is fired after the application of each color, the creation process involves five to ten separate firings. The result is a magnificent and dignified style that combines brilliant gold decoration with inventive color schemes and layouts.
This piece utilizes a unique red glaze known as *shinsha* (copper-red glaze). Unlike painted pigments, the red hue—derived from copper within the glaze—possesses a rich, profound depth. Furthermore, the *shinsha* glaze underwent *yōhen* (kiln transformation) during the reduction firing process, creating variations in the glaze's flow and color that allow the viewer to appreciate a "beauty born of chance."
The dragon is a mythical creature revered as a divine beast of the heavens; it is said to inhabit the waters, soar through the air upon clouds, and wield supernatural power. Ranked alongside the tortoise, *qilin*, and phoenix as one of the "Four Auspicious Creatures," the dragon held special significance in China; from the Yuan Dynasty onward, "dragon motifs" were reserved for the Emperor's attire and were forbidden for use outside the imperial court. In Japan, dragons have been cherished since the Heian and Kamakura periods, with their motifs appearing in a wide variety of art forms, including paintings and ceramics. The dragon is considered an auspicious symbol believed to bring success in career and business, invite good fortune, and protect people from all manner of calamity.
