This painting style is a brilliant representation of the Kuntai style, and it is only created by using a very delicate painting style. It will take a person more than a decade to reach the skill required to paint this design.

Kutani Ware

Kutani ware is a style of Japanese porcelain first established by Goto Saijiro after the mid-seventeenth century. Production of Kutani ware ceased at the end of the 17th century, but commenced again in the 19th century. The porcelain style is known for five colors: red, yellow, green, purple and navy, which are used to paint over dynamic line drawings.
