Kutani Ware Technique Introduction: Mori This piece features the special technique "Mori" used in Kutani ware figurines. "Mori" is painted with a paint called Deco Mori paint using a unique tool called "Itchin." The Deco Mori paint has such a bumpy texture that you might think it has a massage effect when you touch it! Furthermore, the "Mori" technique requires highly advanced skills and is extremely time-consuming, and there are few artisans who can do it, so in recent years the rarity of the works themselves has increased.
Kutani ware is highly regarded worldwide as one of Japan's three major types of overglaze enamel porcelain and as a representative traditional craft of Japan, "Japan Kutani."
Recommended as a gift for: Respect for the Aged Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, 60th birthday, 70th birthday, 77th birthday, retirement, commemorative gifts, grand opening, housewarming, longevity celebrations, birthday presents, and more!
