Product Description The 360-Year Tradition of Kaga Hyakumangoku Kutani ware is primarily produced in Kanazawa, Kaga, and Nomi City in Ishikawa Prefecture, with Terai Town in Nomi City being known as "Kutani no Sato," the center of the industry. Craftsmen, kiln owners, wholesalers, and box makers gather here. Additionally, the pottery village features museums, schools (Ishikawa Prefectural Kutani Ware Technical Training Center), and support workshops. How Kutani Ware is Made - Shaping: Round shapes are created using a potter's wheel, while square shapes and figurines are made by hand. - Bisque Firing: Firing at around 800 degrees for 8 hours results in a skin color. This is followed by high-temperature firing at 1300 degrees for over 15 hours in the main kiln. - Overglaze Painting: After outlining with gosu, colors are applied using traditional Japanese paints. The colors change dramatically before and after firing, making color mixing and matching quite challenging, showcasing the skill of the craftsmen! - Overglaze Kiln: The final process involves firing in an overglaze kiln at around 800 degrees overnight. If gold or silver is used, a second firing in a gold kiln (Nishiki kiln) at 400-500 degrees is necessary. Can it be washed in a dishwasher? Repeated washing in a dishwasher may cause color fading, so please hand wash. Can it be used in a microwave? Items that use gold or silver cannot be used. Others are suitable for use.
