Origin: Traditionally from Kutani, now part of Kaga, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Design: Often depicts scenes of nature and people. This particular piece shows a person in a boat fishing at night with ducks nearby.
Periods: Can be divided into Ko-Kutani (old Kutani, 17th-18th centuries) and Saiko-Kutani (revival in the 19th century). Ko-Kutani pieces are known for their dark, vibrant colors and are considered rare.
