About Us
Delivering Authentic Kutani Ware Direct from the Source
At Japan Kutani Shop, we are based in Ishikawa Prefecture, the heartland of Kutani ware, and ship genuine Kutani ware directly from the region to customers all over the world.
Kutani ware boasts a history of approximately 360 years and is one of Japan’s most renowned traditional crafts, celebrated for its vibrant colors and intricate painting.
We offer a wide selection of pieces—ranging from modern designs to traditional styles—so that anyone can enjoy the artistry of Kutani ware. Our lineup caters to those who want to casually incorporate these pieces into their daily table settings, as well as dedicated collectors seeking to expand their treasures.
Sharing the Artisans’ Stories
The appeal of Kutani ware lies not only in its beautiful patterns but also in the rich history and culture behind it.
Because we are located in the production area, we have the privilege of hearing firsthand accounts from local artisans and studios, which allows us to delve deeper into each work’s story.
Learning about how craftspeople refine their techniques and the passion they pour into each creation can turn a single dish into something truly special. We aim to deliver the artisans’ heartfelt dedication right alongside their masterpieces.
Vibrant Traditional Colors and Diverse Designs
Kutani ware is famous for its “five colors”—red, blue (green), yellow, purple, and navy blue.
While keeping these traditional hues at its core, new designs that reflect contemporary trends and suit various lifestyles around the world are emerging, making Kutani ware even more fascinating.
From minimalist pieces that complement modern interiors to boldly colored works that showcase vivid hues, the term “Kutani ware” encompasses an incredible variety. Finding a piece that resonates with your personal taste is part of the excitement.
Reliable Worldwide Shipping
Although traditional Japanese crafts are gaining global recognition, some may worry about shipping and handling from overseas.
Here at Japan Kutani Shop, we’ve established smooth international shipping procedures and careful packaging to ensure you can order with peace of mind.
No matter how far away you are, we hope you’ll experience the beauty of Kutani ware and enjoy the special feeling of receiving it directly from Japan.
An Online Store That Feels Like Flipping Through a Magazine
Our vision extends beyond simply expanding our product lineup.
We aim to build a platform filled with engaging content on each item’s background, artisan interviews, and the history and culture of Kutani ware—offering an experience akin to reading a magazine.
We want every visit to our store to spark new discoveries and a sense of excitement. That’s what Japan Kutani Shop is all about.
Bringing Japanese Tradition into Your Daily Life
Even just one piece of Kutani ware on your table can brighten your dining space or room.
Instead of keeping these special pieces stored away, we encourage you to use them every day. Over time, you’ll find a sense of attachment and warmth blossoming around them.
Through Kutani ware, our hope is to add a touch of color and richness to your everyday life.
