A New Traditional Beauty Captivating Through the Fusion of Indigo and Overglaze Enamel

A highly accomplished artist who studied under Yamamoto Choza of Myosen ToBo—an official kiln supplier to the Imperial Household Agency—and thoroughly mastered the pinnacle of underglaze cobalt blue (sometsuke) techniques. Building upon traditional mastery, Miura Terutada creates distinct designs that harmonize beautifully with modern living spaces.

His signature achievement lies in his ultra-fine, highly detailed brushwork, most notably "Seika Kosai" (Blue and Red Enamel)—a style fusing the deep indigo of underglaze blue with the vivid, glossy colors of traditional Kutani Gosai enamels. Executed with a precision so minute it seems almost impossible to achieve without a magnifying glass, his intricate lines overwhelm beholders with awe.

His uncompromising dedication to every stage of creation—from forming the porcelain body to final painting—is a true reflection of his pure desire to deliver genuinely exceptional works. Recognized as a Certified Traditional Craftsman by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, he continues to lead the modern Kutani ceramic world.
