STRICT-G, the official Gundam fashion brand, has a sub-brand called "STRICT-G JAPAN" that consistently offers consumers fresh choices by blending traditional Japanese culture and art into its products.
They recently announced a new set of six Kutani ware small plates, crafted using the traditional "Kutani ware" technique from Ishikawa Prefecture, which boasts a history of approximately 370 years. Priced at 13,200 JPY, the set is now available for pre-order on the Japanese Bandai Premium Bandai website.
Kutani ware is an elegant and intricate traditional Japanese craft. It begins with black lines drawn using "Gosu" (cobalt blue mineral pigment), a traditional pigment for ceramic painting. Then, a technique called "Gosai" (five colors) is applied, thickly layering five Japanese painting pigments—red, yellow, green, purple, and dark blue—onto the surface of the vessel.
The pieces feature a bold, painterly overglaze technique. The Gundam and Gouf designs are rendered in the Ko-Kutani style; the Zaku II in the Yoshidaya style; Char's Zaku II in the Iidaya style; the Dom in the Mokubei style; and Char himself in the Shoza style. This set of six small plates comes packaged in an original wooden box.
