Immerse yourself in the 350-year-old traditional craft of Kutani-yaki, one of Japan's most iconic styles of porcelain. At Kutani Mangetsu, the largest facility of its kind in the Hokuriku region, you don't just admire the art—you become the artist.
Surrounded by thousands of exquisite porcelain pieces, begin your journey by choosing your “canvas.” Select your favorite item from a variety of high-quality white porcelain, such as plates or mugs.
Under the expert guidance of the staff, bring your vision to life using 10 vibrant colors, including the legendary “Kutani Gosai” (the five traditional colors: green, yellow, red, purple, and navy blue). Whether you wish to recreate traditional Japanese motifs or challenge yourself with a modern design, the creative possibilities are endless.
After you finish, your masterpiece will be fired in a professional kiln, achieving the characteristic glossy finish that makes Kutani ware so unique. Your piece will be shipped to your home at a later date (international shipping fees will be charged separately).
Beyond the workshop, Kutani Mangetsu offers a complete cultural experience. Browse the extensive shop, visit the gallery featuring works by “Living National Treasures,” or enjoy a delicious lunch served on authentic Kutani tableware. Experience the full charm of Kutani-yaki with all your senses.
