Club in hand, a blue Oni looks out from the body of this Kutani ware yunomi teacup, horns and tusks on full display. Hand painted by Takako Higashi (東 孝子), the bold brushstrokes and warm tones give the cup a lively, storybook feel.

Red and blue Oni make a well-known pairing in Japanese folklore, making this cup the counterpart of its red companion. On the paulownia box the same blue Oni stands tall, club in hand, ready to be gifted.

The cup and box both carry the saying 思いたったが吉日 (Omoitatta ga kichijitsu): the day you decide to do something is the lucky day for doing it. Whether you are starting something new, or simply as a treat, may this Oni serve as a friendly reminder not to wait for a better moment.

Kutani Ware

Established in 1655, Ishikawa’s Kutani-yaki is defined by its masterful use of the traditional Gosai palette, a vibrant quintet of red, green, yellow, navy, and purple. What truly sets Kutani apart is its freedom of expression. Rather than adhering to strict regional templates, each kiln is encouraged to develop its own artistic signature.

Here, porcelain is treated as a canvas; a vibrant fusion of heritage techniques and modern sensibility. This delicate balance between timeless tradition and contemporary functionality is the very soul of Kutani-yaki today.
