description: Material: Porcelain Size: W9.5 × D6 × H10.5 cm (3.7 × 2.4 × 4.1 in) Includes: Wooden display stand and name plaque Box: Paulownia wood box with decorative cord Kingyoku is one of the foremost masters of the traditional Kutani ware Aochibu technique, which became popular during the late Meiji and early Taisho periods. The Aochibu technique is characterized by countless raised enamel dots applied over a colored background. Its rich texture and refined elegance have long been admired. While ordinary Aochibu decoration features dots placed irregularly, Kingyoku arranges the dots in precise spiral and Seigaiha (traditional wave) patterns. Combined with the raised gold decoration technique, these works achieve an exceptional sense of depth, elegance, and dignity. Furthermore, the perfectly uniform size, color, and spacing of every single dot demonstrate an extraordinary level of craftsmanship that can truly be described as masterful. This exquisite 3.4-go Hariko Dog is a premium lucky ornament created by the renowned Kutani ware artist Kingyoku, one of the leading masters of the Kutani ware Morikin (raised gold) technique. It beautifully combines traditional Japanese motifs with a contemporary artistic sensibility. Set against an elegant matte black body, Kingyoku's signature Aochibu (blue raised dots) and Shirotsubu (white raised dots) are meticulously applied one by one with remarkable precision.

The Hariko Dog has long been treasured in Japan as a symbol of safe childbirth and the healthy growth of children. A large bell around its neck and an elegant golden ribbon on its back add a charming modern touch while preserving the traditional spirit of this auspicious figure. This exceptional piece is ideal not only as a decorative ornam…
