The History of Arita Ware

In 1616, Korean potters brought back by the Nabeshima clan, who were dispatched during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea, discovered pottery stone suitable for porcelain production at Izumiyama in Arita, marking the beginning of porcelain firing. As the first region in Japan where porcelain was fired, this area has continued to produce tableware and fine art crafts for 400 years since then.

Characteristics of Arita ware

This is "porcelain" created by making porcelain clay from pottery stone, shaping it, applying glaze, and firing it at high temperatures of 1300 degrees for over 17 hours. It is characterized by its hardness and excellent durability, the translucent whiteness and fine texture of the porcelain body, underglaze blue painting drawn with cobalt, and vibrant overglaze decoration.

Arita ware manufacturing process

The process of creating a single piece involves multiple stages: forming, bisque firing, underglaze painting, glazing, glaze firing, overglaze painting, and overglaze firing. Each stage is carried out through a division of labor by skilled artisans who possess a deep passion for their craft.

Arita ware

Arita porcelain is produced in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, and its surrounding areas. While tableware and art crafts are the main products, its characteristics also allow for the creation of industrial products such as tiles, insulators, and acid-resistant porcelain. Historically, Arita porcelain has a strong image as an art craft due to its beauty that once captivated European royalty and nobility. However, by using it as everyday tableware that enhances dishes as the main focus, daily dining tables are beautifully adorned, and the comfort of daily life can be felt.
