Billiken has been loved for many years at Tsutenkaku in Osaka. Billiken is an American-born god of good fortune (guardian deity) that came to Japan in 1911. It is said that if you scratch the soles of your feet, your wishes will come true. The Billiken, which is full of mysterious charm, is finished using the special technique of Kutani ware called "Mori".
Introduction to Kutani ware techniques: Mori This piece is decorated with the special technique ``Mori'' used for Kutani ware ornaments. ``Mori'' is a paint called Deco Mori paint, and is painted with a unique tool called ``Ichichin''. Does Deco Mori Paint have a massage effect when touched? There is a feeling of unevenness as much as I thought. In addition, ``Mori'' requires advanced techniques and is a very time-consuming technique, and there are few craftsmen, so the rarity value of the work itself has increased in recent years.
Kutani ware is highly regarded around the world as one of Japan's three major colored porcelains, and as Japan's representative traditional craft, ``Japan Kutani.''
Recommended for gifts: Mother's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, store opening celebrations, housewarming gifts, 60th birthday celebrations, birthday celebrations, umbrella life celebrations, rice life celebrations, retirement gifts, birthdays, presents, gifts, etc.
