ABOUT IMARI PORCELAIN
Japanese Imari porcelain refers to a type of porcelain ware that was produced in the town of Arita, in Saga Prefecture on Japan’s Kyushu island, and exported primarily from the nearby port of Imari—hence the name.
Origins & History:
• Early 17th century (Edo period): Porcelain production began in Arita after Korean potters, brought to Japan during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598), discovered kaolin (porcelain clay) in the area.
• Mid-17th century to 18th century: Imari ware became a major export to Europe via the Dutch East India Company.
• Declined in export after 1750s as Chinese porcelain re-entered European markets.
Characteristics:
• Base: Made from fine white porcelain.
• Decoration: Richly colored and ornate, featuring:
o Underglaze blue painting (Arita blue-and-white style).
o Overglaze enamels, especially in red, gold, green, and blue (the classic “Kinrande” Imari style).
• Designs: Often feature floral motifs, birds, mythical creatures, and geometric patterns in bold symmetrical compositions.
Types of Imari:
1. Early Imari / Shoki-Imari (early 1600s): Simpler blue-and-white designs.
2. Kakiemon Imari (mid-1600s onward): A refined, more minimal style using bright overglaze enamels.
3. Kinrande Imari (late 1600s–1700s): Lavish use of red, gold, and cobalt blue—what most Westerners identify as "Imari."
Influence:
• Heavily influenced European porcelain production (e.g., Meissen in Germany, Chantilly in France).
• Still collected and admired today for its craftsmanship and vivid aesthetics.
