Sometsuke is a traditional Japanese technique for painting ceramics with blue dyes, usually in the form of decorative patterns. This technique, also known as "underglaze blue," is often associated with famous Japanese porcelain producers such as Arita, Imari, and Kutani. Sometsuke ceramics are characterized by their beautiful blue designs, often inspired by nature, mythology, or traditional Japanese motifs. The dye is applied before the pottery is glazed and then fired at high temperatures, resulting in a durable, vibrant finish. This technique has been popular in Japan for centuries and is still widely used in contemporary ceramics. less
