All of our products are all handmade and hand painted by Master Fujii Kinsai, therefore each individual item are slightly different each other. *Somenishiki* is a traditional Arita ware style characterized by the use of colors such as red, green, blue, and yellow. The process begins with underglaze painting followed by firing at 1,300°C; subsequently, traditional Arita overglaze enamels are applied, and the piece is fired again at 800°C. Because a separate firing is required for each color applied, the creation of a single piece involves anywhere from four to ten firing cycles. The *Somenishiki* style (including *Iro-Nabeshima*) originated around 1675, initially produced for castle furnishings and as presentation gifts for the Shogunate, feudal lords, and the Imperial Court. These techniques and traditions continue to be passed down to the present day. Orchid Prized for its noble appearance, longevity, and subtle fragrance, the orchid has long been admired for its refined elegance and frequently depicted in Arita and Imari ware. It is a cherished auspicious motif, revered—alongside the chrysanthemum, plum blossom, and bamboo—as one of the "Four Gentlemen."
