Introduction to Kutani Ware Techniques: Mori This piece features the special technique called "Mori," which is used in Kutani ware ornaments. Mori is applied using a type of paint called Deco Mori paint and a unique tool called "Itchin." The Deco Mori paint has such a bumpy texture that you might think it has a massage effect when you touch it. Furthermore, Mori is a highly skilled and time-consuming technique, and there are few artisans who can do it, so in recent years the rarity of the works themselves has been increasing.
