*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; painting with traditional Arita colored enamels (such as red, green, blue, and yellow) followed by firing at 800°C; and finally, adding decorative gold patterns. Because the piece is fired once for each color applied, the creation of a single work involves five to ten separate firings. It is a magnificent and dignified style that incorporates brilliant gold decoration alongside inventive color schemes and layouts.
*Yūrikō* (underglaze red) is a technique that uses copper-based pigments for underglaze painting; by utilizing oxidation-reduction reactions during firing, a red hue is produced beneath a transparent glaze. While the origins of *yūrikō* date back to the late Yuan Dynasty in China (14th century), in the realm of Hizen porcelain, it was produced during the Early Imari period (1610–1650). However, the technique subsequently declined due to the difficulty of the firing process and the instability of the resulting colors. If the firing temperature rises too high, the color fails to develop, leaving the piece stark white; conversely, firing in an oxidizing atmosphere results in a green hue. The outcome is highly sensitive to the nature of the flames, and even slight temperature variations can produce completely different colors. Achieving consistent results is notoriously difficult—an intricate technique where, in countless instances, more than two-thirds of the pieces had to be discarded upon removal from the kiln.
Peony (*Botan*)
With its magnificent, large blossoms and noble bearing, the peony has long been known in China as the "King of Flowers" and a symbol of wealth and honor. In Japan, too, the peony's spectacular beauty has inspired its use in a wide variety of designs, from paintings to handicrafts. It is considered an auspicious motif that conveys an elegant gentleness amidst its splendor.
