Old imari' Antique blue and white plate in Edo #3073

Old Imari is quite probably the most famous Japanese ceramic product in the world. China, the dominant exporter of porcelain, fell into internal disturbances in 1644 and it became hard to obtain Chinese products. The west requested Japan to step up production of porcelain instead of China because Europe did not have the techniques to make porcelain at that time. Thus substantial amounts of Japanese porcelain ware were made in the town of Arita and exported to Europe from the port of Imari by the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) from the late 17th to early 18th century in order to meet demand in the west. Thus Arita porcelain is also often known as Imari.

Arita ware was the first porcelain product in Japanese history, and strongly influenced European ceramics. Our products are mostly secondhand goods. + We usually use corrugated cardboard box and Bubble Wrap for safe package.
