The Beauty of Fukagawa Blue

The charm of the pottery of Fukagawa porcelain is in coloring of blue on the almost transparent white porcelain, which was made possible by high temperature (approx. 1350℃) baking. This blue color is so unique that it is called "Fukagawa blue" and attracts many fans even today. The design the founder Chuji Fukagawa has left is of a special technique that can hardly be seen today. The company has inherited this valuable asset and treasured the mystique over the design of Fukagawa porcelain. The porcelain lovers in the world have respect for the design and call it as the Fukagawa Style.
