Harekutani Kutani Akae Cat Small Plate

Product Description Charming yet sophisticated Kutani ware that instantly brightens up your everyday table. A relief plate from Haru Kutani, adorned with traditional red-painted designs. This piece expresses the allure of Kutani ware—a traditional Japanese craft—through a contemporary lens. The graceful, elongated form of the black cat and the delicate red-painted patterns adorning its body. Red-painted decoration is a uniquely Japanese, vibrant decorative technique created by artisans carefully applying each stroke by hand, using a deep red as the base. Its intricate yet harmonious beauty can truly be described as the “crystallization of passion and skill.” The contrast between the beauty of the negative space and the intricate decoration lends this piece a sense of lightness and elegance, revealing a new expression every time you look at it. The S size features an endearing silhouette. Its slightly angular shape, reminiscent of a flower bursting into bloom, brings rhythm and vibrancy to the dining table. Combining artistry and playfulness, this piece adds a subtle sense of specialness and a story to everyday life.
