All of our products are all handmade and hand painted by Master Fujii Kinsai, therefore each individual item are slightly different each other. *Kinsai* (gold decoration) is a traditional Arita ware style characterized by a multi-stage process: first, underglaze blue patterns are applied and fired at 1,300°C; next, traditional Arita overglaze enamels (red, green, blue, yellow, etc.) are painted on and fired at 800°C; finally, gold accents are added to create intricate patterns. Because the piece is fired after the application of each color, the entire process requires five to ten separate firings to complete a single work. The result is a magnificent, dignified style that combines brilliant gold decoration with inventive color schemes and layouts. "Somenishiki Platinum-Irodori" is a unique technique developed by Kinsai Fujii. It involves applying platinum accents to white porcelain—which has already been fired at 1,300°C—and then firing it again at 800°C to bond the platinum to the surface. The process requires firing the piece after the application of each individual color—totaling six to ten firings—before the final platinum firing. The platinum applied across the surface creates subtle nuances of light and shadow; its luster shifts depending on the angle of the light and the viewer's perspective, ensuring a constant, radiant gleam. This luxurious style harmoniously blends the traditions of Arita ware with a modern aesthetic. The Phoenix (Ho-o) In ancient China, the phoenix was revered as one of the "Four Auspicious Creatures"—alongside the tortoise, qilin, and dragon—and was known as the "King of Birds." Legends of the phoenix reached Japan during the Asuka period, and its motif has since been incorporated into a wide array of decorative objects and furnishings. Even today, it remains a beloved symbol of good fortune. Condition Limited Edition Products by Master Fujii Kinsai Arita Saga Japan.
