Harekutani

Harekutani creates Japanese pottery in the Kutani tradition, designed to brighten your home and daily life. The word hare in Harekutani is a Japanese term that signifies special or festive occasions, such as weddings and joyful milestones. True to its name, Harekutani pieces are designed to bring cheer into everyday life, turning simple moments into small celebrations.

Rooted in traditional Japanese pottery techniques of Kutani ware and the five classic pigments of red, yellow, green, purple, and navy blue, Harekutani combines them with contemporary shapes and designs. The resulting pieces are a new expression of Kutani ware—colorful and approachable, yet modern and well-suited for daily use.

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.
