It is important to protect tradition. However, tradition is not only about techniques but also people who have inherited the spirit of tradition and the techniques that come with it. Based on that idea, Koraku Kiln, a pottery in the town of Arita in Saga Prefecture, is engaged in spreading techniques to young creators by allowing them to use their kilns. Through striving to convey the new possibilities of Arita-ware globally while keeping up the tradition art, the KOTOHOGU UTSUWA Arita-ware series was brought to life. The products feature animals known as auspicious symbols since ancient times in Japan. Produced nearly 30 years ago, the small plates designed with crane and sea bream motifs are one of the best-selling products. The turtle motif was jointly produced with a female potter in Yokohama with whom the head of the pottery met through a social networking service. The beautiful features unique to Japan, as well as the reliable techniques used for the KOTOHOGU UTSUWA series produce a synergic effect and offer new possibilities for Arita-ware.
