The original "Kokutani" style was promoted by the Daishoji Domain around 1655. Under the guidance of master Kano school painter Kusumi Morikage, it uses five colors: blue (green), yellow, red, purple, and indigo. With its pictorially perfected, bold composition and free yet delicate lines, it is perhaps the most distinctively Kutani style. Kutani ware is one of Japan's three major overglaze porcelain styles and is highly regarded worldwide as a representative traditional Japanese craft, "Japan Kutani."
