History: In Japan some 600 years ago, huge, oversized dishes ”ozara” became popular among wealthy Japanese elite. These big plates were handcrafted at Arita, Kyushu island, an early center of porcelain production since 17th century. These were crafted for feudal lords, daimyos and their magnificent banquets. By the early 19th century, a wealthier middle class emerged along with proliferation of restaurant night spots and popularity of large scale dishes became even more widespread and big, highly decorated serving plates were produced in increasing quantity. By late 1800s, when Japan was forcibly opened to westerners, Arita and other kiln’s wares like Imari, Kutani, and Satsuma porcelains became more available. They reached high artistic achievement as favored export art to the west.
