The studio primarily makes and sells decorative art and tableware for special occasions as well as everyday meals. Established in 1879, the studio offers classical yet fresh Kutani ware which is decorated in deep, vivid indigo blues and the traditional five colors (blue, yellow, violet, ultramarine, and red) of Kutani ware.

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
