Kutani Ware Kutani Kosen Kiln

Etsuke (Drawing) Experience

You can try your hand at drawing the outline of the design on a white vessel. After that, the craftsman will finish the painting with the desired color chosen from the color samples. The pottery is then fired again in the kiln and sent to you about two months later.

Since our kiln uses traditional Kutani ware pigments, our craftsmen specialize in coloring. You can experience it easily and get a real finish.
