Kutaniyaki open kiln of more than 130 years KUTANI CHOEMON. This work is a Kutani pottery. The part of the head of the skull, candy pot, can be divided. Craftsmen painted beautiful traditional patterns. The Japanese view of life and death can be sometimes very stoic like Seppuku, but can also be very optimistic. We, Maruwakaya, considerthat this is the beginning ot the Japanese aesthetic.
