With each thought on each one, please proud product to customer 【【Official】 ARITA PORCELAIN LAB

Career of 14 years and 11 months

Yoshihiro Ura

Belongs to Underglazing department

In charge of underglazing

More than 14 years of experience as craftsman since he joined the company Arita Porcelain Lab. First the patterns are outlined in gosu (a pigment of cobalt oxide) and then paint is applied inside the patterns.

Once outlined, patterns are filled by Dami Fude (a thick brush unique to Arita porcelain production) by hand painting.

I think it is important to take care the products I work with love. Because more I pay attention, the products will become beautiful.
Patterns may differ one by one because they are hand painted.Every craftsman has his own style of drawing, and every piece he makes is unique.I hope our customers appreciate the different outcome.

Traditional culture can be recommended to everyone.

Arita Porcelain Lab products are recommended for young customers too. Our products are developped to please the younger customers, in addition to our traditional needs. Aritayaki can be recommended men and women of all ages, but I would like that young customers discover more our products.
I'm not the only one to make effort, we all work hard to produce every piece. This is why I can recommend with confidence to customers.
