Kutani Shoza Style

The most renowned of these different Revived Kutani styles is the Shoza style which was developed by Kutani Shoza at the and of the Edo period, in the 19th century.

Shoza was born a farmer in Terai village, Nomi-gun. At the age of 11, he became a potter, decoration Kutani porcelain and opened his own studio at the age of 26. The unique contribution of his studio was the use of imported enamels in addition to Japanese, which gave a new possibility to create graded shades of colors not possibly before with Japanese enamels. A special combination of gold and a detailed colored enamels decoration came to be known as “Colored Kinrande”.

His rather loud general style came to be known as ‘Japanese Kutani’ which eventually became the common image of Kutani porcelain even if most Japanese connoisseurs would prefer the name “Shoza’s style”.

Shoza’s works were exported during the 19th century (Meiji period).
