Kutani Ware Technique: Mori (Mori). This piece features the Mori technique, a special technique used for Kutani ware ornaments. Mori is a type of paint called Deco Mori-enagu, applied with a unique tool called an "Ichinchin." The Deco Mori-enagu paint has a texture so uneven that it almost feels like a massage to the touch. Mori-enagu requires advanced skill and is a time-consuming technique with few artisans. As a result, the pieces themselves have become increasingly rare in recent years.
