Kutani ceramics have their origin in a small remote village in the mountains (Kutani means 9 valleys) of the Ishikawa Prefecture. The main city, Kanazawa, is one of the most famous castle towns in Japan. If Kutani ceramics are little known overseas, on the contrary they are very famous in Japan as they are really representative of the Japanese culture.
Kutani history is closely linked with the history of Japan and with the development of Ishikawa Prefecture. However who knows where Kanazawa is?
is
the largest Internet resource for information on Kutani ceramic. It includes
the most comprehensive Kutani database. It stores more than 1000 kutani
marks and photos of different pieces for reference. You may search also

of a large number of private collectors and dealers all over the world.
