*Sometsuke* refers to ware decorated with patterns in a single shade of blue. This style originated in 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, the 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 Korea, the style is celebrated for its elegant beauty, combining the warmth of white porcelain with simple, single-color blue designs.
Sparrows (*Suzume*)
Sparrows are familiar birds that have long been regarded as symbols of abundance. Frequently featured in traditional crafts and paintings, they offer an endearing, heartwarming, and serene motif. Sparrows are considered auspicious birds that invite good fortune; they are believed to peck away at misfortune and evil, while also symbolizing a bountiful harvest. This pattern embodies wishes for family prosperity and safety, making it a beloved and auspicious design.
