A-Un Pair — Completing Each Other’s Energy

The two frogs embody Japan’s iconic A-Un duality:

“A” Frog (Yellow, left hand raised)
Welcomes relationships, guests, positivity, and opportunities.
Its open mouth symbolizes the beginning of fortune.

“Un” Frog (Black, right hand raised)
Draws in wealth, stability, and success.
Its closed mouth symbolizes protecting and securing blessings.

Together, they create a complete flow of energy — opening fortune, grounding fortune, and sustaining fortune.

Kutani Craftsmanship — Raised Enamel & Symbolic Motifs

Kutani’s signature mori-e (raised enamel) gives each frog a rich, tactile texture.
The patterns subtly shift with the light, creating a dynamic visual depth unique to high-end Kutani pieces.

Each frog features auspicious Japanese motifs:

Mount Fuji — Everlasting happiness

Cranes & Turtles — Longevity and prosperity

Seigaiha (Blue Waves) — Peaceful, harmonious life

These symbols have been used for centuries to attract good fortune into the home.
