Arita-yaki (Imari-yaki) has the longest history as the Japanese porcelain. Before the Arita ceramic, there was the pottery (earthware) only around the country. The porcelain has attracted the people in not only the small island but also the other countries.

 

When it comes to the Arita ware, the decorative plates and vase have been famous. Or the Japanese tea set and sake cups. It gives the image of “traditional Japanese tableware” anyway.

 

But the traditional craft doesn’t stop its walking. For dealing with the change of the lifestyle of the Japanese people, we could find the Western tableware in Arita-yaki. 

 

 

And the craftsmen became to create the Arita ware products which have the modern appearance. Fujii Kinsai is one of the most attracting Arita ware craftsman in these days.
