About KAGUYA
Once upon a time, there was a bamboo cutter. He went through the fields and mountains to collect bamboo, which he used for all sorts of things. His name was Sanuki no Miyatsuko. Among the bamboo, there was one that was shining. Suspicious, he went closer to see that the inside of the tube was shining. When he looked, he saw a person about three inches tall, very beautiful.
This model, "KAGUYA," best fulfils one of QUTOTEN.'s philosophies: "Don't tell everyone, leave it to the receiver."
◯ About Blue Scales
"Sorin" is fired using the "crystalline glaze" that is the specialty of the potter Touan.
The beautiful shine of the blue dragon's scales and the dull, rustic color of the copper give it the air of being something that stands the test of time for a thousand years.
Only God knows what it will look like.
———Spontaneous beauty with infinite possibilities that humans cannot control.
Each flowerpot is covered in its own unique scales.

About Touan, the Kyoto-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery manufacturer
Since its founding in 1922 at Sennyuji Temple in Higashiyama, Kyoto, the Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki kiln manufacturer "Touan" has continued to use high-quality raw materials and create works by skilled craftsmen, which have earned it a high reputation for their quality and creativity.
While inheriting the traditions of Kyoto ware from Nonomura Ninsei and Ogata Kenzan, he is constantly working on technological innovation.
"KAGUYA" was planned and designed by QUTOTEN. and produced after repeated consultations with the fourth-generation head of the family, Yoshiaki Dobuchi, about the development of glazes and the selection of clay.
