1 Answer
What does Imari style mean?
The term Imari style means porcelain that looks like it comes from Arita, an area in Kyūshū, Japan. Traditional Arita porcelain typically features brightly colored patterns that depict animals and plants. Pieces done in this style borrow these forms but are not made in Arita.
