SAIGA creates authentic, intricate and fabulous artifact gift items by fusing modern design and traditional art crafts that evolved in Kaga in the north western part of Japan.

In the 17th century, a highly refined culture encompassing food, clothing and housing, i.e. all necessities of life, known as Kaga culture, blossomed in the north western part of Japan with the patronization of the daimyo feudal lord of Maeda Domain.

In particular, porcelain and maki-e, Japanese lacquer sprinkled with gold or silver powder for decoration, are treasured traditional art crafts.

Kutani-yaki ware, a fine textured white translucent bodied porcelain ware decorated with underglaze enamels of vivid colors and given a final clear over-glaze by firing at 1,300 degrees ℃ for 15 hours, is particularly known for the vivid colored luxurious and spectacular designs.

Kaga maki-e and porcelain, decorated with ravish use of gold and silver, were highly praised at the Vienna World Exposition held in the 19^th century.
