The ceramics featured in this book may appear to be ordinary at first glance.

Their delicate painting, advanced techniques, and use of color evoke renowned pottery traditions, while their intricate decorations are undeniably beautiful…

Yet, they are utterly impractical. In short, none of them are suited for actual use.
And still, Fukumo ceramics captivate us and refuse to let go.
