Maker / Brand
Founded in 1985, Soushu Kiln is renowned for its mastery of yuri-ginsai, a celebrated Kutani ware technique in which silver leaf is applied to the surface and layered with translucent color glazes before firing. Encased beneath the glaze, the silver retains its soft luster, allowing its beauty to endure over time.
The kiln has independently developed its own high-temperature glaze, achieving a jewel-like finish that enhances the luminous quality of yuri-ginsai. For more than thirty years, Soushu Kiln has pursued elegant and deeply expressive Kutani ware, establishing itself as a respected name in this distinctive technique.
Origin
Kutani ware is a traditional Japanese porcelain from the Kaga region in Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning over 350 years. Known for its vibrant overglaze enamel designs and use of five signature colors, known as Kutani gosai—navy blue, red, purple, green, and yellow pigments. This timeless craft has continuously evolved through generations of artisans who balance innovation with a deep respect for tradition.
Kutani ware exhibits a diverse range of distinctive styles, shaped by evolving artistic tastes over the centuries. Styles such as ko-Kutani, with its bold colors, geometric patterns, and painterly detail, and akae-saibyo, marked by ultra-fine red lines. Many pieces feature traditional Japanese motifs, such as kacho (flowers and birds) and sansui (landscapes), offering a timeless glimpse into the beauty of nature and the seasons.
