*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—using pigments (*gosu*) composed of materials such as cobalt oxide, manganese, iron, and kaolin—onto the raw porcelain body; a transparent glaze is then applied over the design before firing, causing the pigment to develop a 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—resulting in hues ranging from vivid indigo to pale tones or deep, dark blues. Appreciating these subtle nuances and the unique character of the color is one of the true delights of *sometsuke*. Introduced to Arita via China and Korea, the style is characterized by an elegant beauty, combining the warmth of white porcelain with the simplicity of blue-only decoration.
Grapevine
It is said that grapevines were originally introduced from China. Prized for their appearance when laden with abundant fruit, grape motifs have long been used in a wide variety of art and crafts, including items found in the Shosoin Repository. With their elegant and modern aesthetic, grapevines symbolize the prosperity of descendants—due to the fruit's many seeds—making this a highly popular pattern even today.
