Introducing the Kutani ware technique: Ginsai - a supreme color that cannot be expressed in words. This design involves applying a transparent glaze or five-colored glaze over silver foil. It is characterized by a subdued brilliance, a gentle shine, and a glass-like texture. Despite its dazzling appearance, which requires firing in the kiln once more than usual, this is actually a very elaborate technique. *To be precise, it is not silver foil. Because thinner silver foil would melt, this is an extremely luxurious technique that requires the foil to be about seven times thicker than silver foil.
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.''
