360-Year Historical Arts and Crafts for Mother's Day Gifts

The history of "Kutani Ware", a traditonal Japanese craftwork, dates back to 360 years ago.

It features line drawing with indigo blue ink named "Gosu" and painting with 5 colors collectively called "Gosai" (red, yellow, green, purple, dark blue). Its delicate tints and bold impressions it gives are admired worldwide as either art or craftwork.

In Japan, it is even officially approved as a national traditional craftwork as well as historic culture by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
