Kutani is one of the three main and most famous trends in Japanese artistic porcelain/ceramics. The workshops are located in Ishikawa Prefecture, mainly in the Kutani region, literally translated as "nine valleys". Numerous workshops located near the city of Kaga worked so skillfully with porcelain that they became a household name for all Japanese porcelain.
