Frog Size: Width 8 x Depth 7.5 x Height 7.5 cm [Gift Box Specification: Comes in a special cardboard box]
Safe Return Frog: Frogs have been revered since ancient times as symbols of longevity, protection against evil, and even as gods of the moon. Recently, the wordplay "safe return" (muji kaeru) has made them popular as amulets for traffic safety and travel.
Kutani ware is highly regarded worldwide as one of Japan's three major types of overglaze enamel porcelain, and as a representative traditional craft of Japan, known as "Japan Kutani."
Introduction to Kutani Ware Techniques: Mori This piece features the special technique called "Mori," which is used in Kutani ware ornaments. Mori is applied using a type of paint called Deco Mori paint and a unique tool called "Itchin." The Deco Mori paint has such a bumpy texture that you might think it has a massage effect when you touch it. Furthermore, Mori is a highly skilled and time-consuming technique, and there are few artisans who can do it, so in recent years the rarity of the works themselves has been increasing.
Perfect for gifts: A traffic safety charm, ideal for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, grand openings, housewarmings, 60th, 70th, 77th, 80th, and 88th birthday celebrations, retirement gifts, birthday presents, and more!
