Kihara presents an innovative approach by blending the traditional Arita porcelain style with a fresh design, seamlessly merging the old and the new. This manifests in the early Imari-style rain patterns, reflecting a distinct aesthetic.

While the dyed patterns inherently carry a modern essence, Sato diligently endeavored to recreate the original texture, facing multiple challenges along the way. Given that each piece is meticulously hand-crafted by skilled artisans, variations in color and pattern placement from the provided image are to be expected. We invite you to revel in the unique expressions that emerge from handcrafted artistry.
