Ko-Imari
- Generic term
A generic term for porcelain produced during the Edo period (1603-1868), mainly in Arita, Hizen Province, or what is now Saga and Nagasaki Prefectures. The name “Imari-yaki” was derived from the fact that porcelain produced around Arita at that time was shipped from Imari Port. Many of the works have high historical and antique value.
White porcelain
- Generic term
A type of porcelain made from white porcelain stone. Transparent glaze are applied and fired at high temperature by reduction firing. Developed in China, this type of ceramic came into production in Japan after the discovery of porcelain stone containing kaolin in Izumiyama, Arita in 1616.
