Introducing the Kutani ware technique: Mori. This piece is crafted using the special "Mori" technique used for Kutani ware ornaments. "Mori" is a type of paint called "Deco Mori Paint" that is applied with a unique tool called "Ichinen." Touching the Deco Mori Paint creates a textured surface that feels like it has a massaging effect. Mori Paint requires advanced skill and is a time-consuming technique with few artisans, so the pieces themselves have become increasingly rare in recent years.
Kutani ware is one of Japan's three major colored porcelains and is highly regarded worldwide as a traditional craft representative of Japan, ``Japan Kutani.''
