Inviting You to the World of Beauty of Kutani Ware with Gorgeous and Luxurious Colored Kinrande

A pottery founded by the 1st generation, Shosaku Yoshida, in 1906 (Meiji 39), which has continued for 120 years without extinguishing the kiln fire. "Kinzangama," which inherits various techniques nurtured by Kutani and utilizes them in current pottery making, excels in the technique of gold decoration. From the 1st generation, who was skilled in colored Kinrande, it is characterized by painting using gold generation after generation. The 3rd generation, Minori Yoshida, who elevated the technique of "Yuri-kinsai" (underglaze gold decoration) and was certified as a Holder of National Important Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasure), the 4th generation, Yukio Yoshida, and his wife, Rumiko, express new colored Kinrande while utilizing traditional techniques.
