The five colors of red, green, yellow, purple, and navy blue are skillfully manipulated to create the patterns.

The brush strokes are superb, from flower, bird, wind, and moon to landscapes and figures, and even innovative geometric patterns.

The skillful use of brush strokes to create flowers, birds, wind, and moon, landscapes, figures, and innovative geometric patterns is also noteworthy. Kutani-yaki is a collection of masterpieces in which artists' skills are at their best.
