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.

Black Ships (黒船, kurofune) was a name used for Western sea vessels arriving in Japan from the 16th - 19th Century. The name originated from the very first Portuguese vessels to trade with the Japanese ca. 1543 had hulls painted black. When the expedition of Matthew Commodore Perry in 1853 forcibly ended Japan's self-imposed isolationist sakoku (鎖国, lit. "locked country") period, his steam-powered warships inspired fear in the Japanese populace with their coal fueled black smoke.
