Kutani means “nine valleys.” Around the middle of the 17th-century, porcelain stone was discovered near the Kutani mines of the Daishoji clan. Lord Maeda Toshiharu sent Gokō Saijirō to Aritia in Hzen province to learn how to make porcelain from the master Kakiemon. Upon Saijirō’s return, a porcelain kiln was built in Kutani.
Kutani ware gained international recognition when it was exhibited at the 1873 Vienna World Exposition.
In 1975, Kutani was declared a traditional craft. Kutani still is produced by artisans in Ishikawa, Komastus, and Terai.
