Kakiemon: a history of making Japanese porcelain
2016 marks the 400th anniversary of porcelain production in Japan. It is said to have started in 1616 in Arita, a town on the southern island of Kyushu near Nagasaki. One of the major styles of porcelain from Arita is known as Kakiemon. The Kakiemon style dates back to the 1670s and was made for a largely European market. It originated with Sakaida Kakiemon I, who learnt the secrets to overglaze enamelling possibly from a Chinese specialist in Nagasaki in 1647. He then introduced this technique to Arita, earning the name ‘Kakiemon’, which derives from kaki (persimmon) after the orange-red colour of the enamel.

Arita Japan 400-Year-Old Porcelain Town - Arita Yaki, The Cradle Of Porcelain Manufacturing ???????? ???? ????
With a population of less than 20,000 people in this quit Japanese town, since the 17th century, Arita has been one of the primary producers of Japan's most prestigious exports: Arita yaki, Arita ware porcelain.
The porcelain from Arita, dating back 400 years, was officially dubbed as one of Japan's Traditional Crafts in 1977.
Since 1616, Arita, located within the Kyushu region of Japan, has been one of the most renowned places to craft porcelain since the discovery of its raw materials.
The porcelain creations from Arita that use traditional methods of production are nearly glass-like. They are very thin and light, yet durable and adorned in wondrous patterns.
Arita ware has been a popular export to mostly Europe since the 17th century. There are far fewer porcelain kilns still in operation today though.
Ceramic artisans in Arita today insist on creating the traditional way to preserve this significant part of Japan's history. Every piece of Arita ware is forged in fire for several days before it is finally hand painted.
When planning a trip to Japan, there are numerous porcelain-themed attractions in Arita Japan, including the Porcelain Park museum and shrine built with a ceramic archway.

Japanese Antiques Imari Vases and Ceramics from Arita
Timothy Langston takes a look at items at his gallery and reflects on the history of Imari Vases and Ceramics from Arita in Japan.
I've always had a fascination and love of Japanese works of art, and here at the gallery we have always specialised in Imari porcelain. Examples such as these around me which date from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries: they're wonderfully decorative and, in the same way that Chinese porcelain adds a great deal of colour and form to an interior, these pieces which were made, quite often for export to the Dutch market and from Holland were then transported to countries such as Britain, they produced wonderful decorating opportunities for major houses of the time.
These pieces here use blue red and gold glazes on a white body - an almost translucent body. This is typical of Imari Ware which was produced in a town called Arita which was invaded by the Japanese where they discovered this special clay called Kaolin from from that they managed to you imitate Chinese porcelain wares and the production thereof. In the mid 17th century the Japanese imposed a self-isolation policy and the only nation allowed trade with them in fact with Holland and so the Dutch became the only single conduit by which other European nations could buy Japanese wares such as
Imari porcelain.
Once this policy was revoked in the mid-nineteenth century there was an international sensation caused by the rediscovery of Imari wares. Nineteenth century pieces such as some examples we have here use bolder colours - often tomato red glazes with really deep blues but again placed upon white grounds.
Another example which is worth looking at is this extraordinary dragon vase as you'll see there is a black ground with this extraordinary selection all polychrome decoration upon the surface and rather nicely you see - and this is another typical feature of Imari ware - this kimono design which is decorated around collar and the foot of the vase. Kimonos of course were, in their own way, an extraordinary means of decoration and provided a backdrop for some of the most creative designs of Japanese decoration and they were often incorporated into Imari porcelain designs: and you can see that here.
We have a very large selection of Japanese porcelain as well as Chinese porcelain. And these pieces which were made to furnish European homes still adorn these houses today we regularly asked about the story Imari and if you'd like to discover a little more, do come and see us here at the gallery on The Pimlico Road.
When you're thinking Imari,

Arita Porcelain Park, Saga in 4K - 有田ポーセリンパーク - Japan As It Truly Is
The Arita Porcelain Park will make your head spin as you think you suddenly walked to the Zwinger Palace in Dresden, Germany.
Walking through the Arita Porcelain Park is like being in a small German village, and inside the palace is a museum where you can see both precious European poreclain on one side and beautiful Arita-yaki porcelain on the other. Even more mind blowing is that walking around the palace and grounds is completely free!
The Arita Porcelain Park is best accessed by car, but it's still possible to take a train to Arita Stn and catch a taxi. Don't miss the kiln in the back.

It's been a week since I returned to my second home; it's been ten years since I said see you soon to my host family and the people of Saga, a small, agricultural prefecture in western Japan.
I have much to say about this homecoming, but that's for a sitdown talkie video. For now, I'd like to share some quick sights and sounds of this tranquil place.
This video was taken shortly past noon, using an iPhone 5. I do a little bit of talking, just so a disembodied voice accompanies the moving images. Enjoy.

Japan Travel: Seeing the Core of Arita Pottery at the Izumiyama Quarry, Arita, Saga05
Japan Travel: Seeing the Core of Arita Pottery at the Izumiyama Quarry, Arita, Saga05
Arita Town, in western Saga Prefecture in Kyushu, is famous for its pottery both domestically and internationally.
The town’s rich porcelain history began over 400 years ago when Toyotomi Hideyoshi brought several talented Korean craftsmen to Japan. One of these men discovered kaolin, the rock needed to create porcelain in the Izumiyama Quarry.
The Izumiyama Quarry was a busy mine as most of the town’s commerce relies on porcelain pottery, or Arita-yaki, the town produces. However, presently there is no mining done at the Izumiyama Quarry. Visitors can view the exposed rocks and mine caves, though from a distance.

Imari Porcelain in Japan Japanology 伊万里焼
Imari ware (Japanese: 伊万里焼 Hepburn: Imari-yaki) is a type of Arita ware (有田焼 Arita-yaki) traditionally made in the town of Arita, in the former Hizen Province, northwestern Kyūshū. They were exported to Europe extensively from the port of Imari, Saga, between the second half of the 17th century and the first half of the 18th century. The name therefore derives from the port of export. Imari ware has been continuously produced up through the present day.
Imari was simply the trans-shipment port for Arita wares. It was the kilns at Arita which formed the heart of the Japanese porcelain industry.
Arita's kilns were set up in the 17th century, after kaolin was discovered in 1616. A popular legend attributes the discovery to an immigrant Korean potter, Yi Sam-pyeong (1579–1655), although most historians consider this doubtful. After the discovery, some kilns began to produce revised Korean-style blue and white porcelains, known as Shoki-Imari.
In the mid-17th century there were also many Chinese refugees in northern Kyushu due to the turmoil in China, and it is said that one of them brought the overglaze enamel coloring technique to Arita. Thus Shoki-Imari developed into Ko-Kutani Imari. Ko-Kutani was produced around 1650 for both export and domestic market. Kutani ware is characterized by vivid green, blue, purple, yellow and red colors in bold designs of landscapes and nature. Blue and white porcelain pieces continued to be produced and they are called Ai-Kutani. Ko-Kutani Imari for the export market usually adopted Chinese design structure such as kraak style, whereas Ai-Kutani for the domestic market were highly unique in design and are accordingly valued very much among collectors.
18th-century Imari covered tureen in the District Museum, Tarnów is an example of export porcelain collected by Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth's magnateria.
Ko-Kutani style evolved into Kakiemon-style Imari, which was produced for about 50 years around 1700. Kakiemon was characterized by crisp lines, and bright blue, red and green designs of dramatically stylized floral and bird scenes. Imari achieved its technical and aesthetic peak in the Kakiemon style, and it dominated the European market. Blue and white Kakiemon is called Ai-Kakiemon. The Kakiemon style transformed into Kinrande in the 18th century, using underglaze blue and overglaze red and gold enamels, and later additional colors.
Imari began to be exported to Europe when the Chinese kilns at Jingdezhen were damaged in the political chaos and the new Qing dynasty government halted trade in 1656–1684. Exports to Europe were made through the Dutch East India Company, and in Europe the designation Imari porcelain connotes Arita wares of mostly Kinrande Imari.
Export of Imari to Europe stopped in mid-18th century when China resumed export to Europe, since Imari was not able to compete against Chinese products due to high labor costs. By that time, however, both Imari and Kakiemon styles were already so popular among Europeans that the Chinese export porcelain copied both, a type known as Chinese Imari. At the same time, European kilns, such as Meissen and English potteries such as Johnson Bros. and (Royal) Crown Derby, also imitated the Imari and Kakiemon styles.
Export of Imari surged again in late 19th century (Meiji era) when Japonism flourished in Europe. Thus in the western world today, two kinds of true Japanese Imari can be found: that exported in the mid-Edo period, and that exported in the Meiji era. From the viewpoint of collectors, these two types are completely different, though Kinrande appearances are similar.

Arita Porcelin Park Part II
The Arita Porcelain Park is a small theme park located in Arita town, Saga Prefecture, Japan. The Porcelain Park is a recreation of a traditional German village, and is located just on the outskirts of Arita on the road to Hasami. Most stunning is the reproduction of the “Zwinger,” a famous palace in the German city of Dresden. Inside the palace are impressive permanent exhibition of both European porcelain in one wing and Arita-yaki in the other. Behind the palace lies a European style garden. There is also a large ancient kiln which can be visited. The theme park also houses various stores selling both traditional Japanese and European-style products.

Japan Trip: Local History at the Tonbai Wall Alleys in Arita, Saga03
Japan Trip: Local History at the Tonbai Wall Alleys in Arita, Saga03
Tonbai Wall Alleys are an important part of the porcelain pottery history in Arita, western Saga Prefecture. Over 400 years of Toyotomi Hideyoshi brought several talented Korean craftsmen to Japan. One of the highly skilled men discovered kaolin, the main ingredient for porcelain, in the Izumiyama Quarry. Thus, Arita became the first city in Japan to produce porcelain items.
The kilns and pottery brought fame and fortune to the small town of Arita. With the products being of high quality, the porcelain products were sold both domestically and internationally. With the international products being shipped out of Imari Port, Arita-yaki (Arita pottery) was also known as Imari-yaki.
The Arita-yaki potters lived and worked behind the Tonbai Walls. Here, the potters could create without worrying about competitors stealing their tricks of the trade. These walls are composed of old bricks made from the kiln as well as discarded pottery and porcelain. The walls are intact and remain a popular sight for visitors even today.
