Ōtani Oniji III is depicted here in the role of a samurai’s manservant from the play The Colored Reins of a Loving Wife (Koi nyōbō somewake tazuna). Artist, Sharaku masterfully captures both the essence of the Kabuki character and the actor’s unique presence.

Crafted in the Japan's Kutani ware tradition, these coasters showcase intricate designs and vibrant colours. Each piece is created using in-house developed glazes and precise transfer techniques, then hand-finished and kiln-fired for exceptional durability. 

Kutani ware, or Kutani-yaki, originates from Ishikawa Prefecture and is celebrated for its rich, glassy overglaze and detailed artistry. Dating back to the 17th century, this traditional Japanese ceramic style combines timeless techniques with modern innovation, creating pieces that balance heritage with everyday functionality.
