History of Ko-Kutani Porcelain: Beginning in 1655, Goto Saijiro learned the technique of Arita (Imari) ware and started the ceramic industry in Daishoji Domain, Japan. The name of the village where the porcelain stone was produced was Kutani. So, they called the porcelain “Kutani-yaki”. The old Kutani ware has a feature of a green body. Otherwise, the style using five colors, green, yellow, purple, red, and navy was famous old Kutani (Kokutani). Though the pottery gained the reputation, the industrials disappeared from the Daishoji Domain just some 50 years after. The apparent reason hasn’t come out yet. After about 100 years of the passing, the movement of the renaissance came off. It brought forth the master craftsmen who created porcelain with colorful base and gold rims. Since then, the Kutani ceramic plate and vase gained popularity around the world as a work of art.
