Source Description
Imari ware is technically made in Arita but was named after the port town of Imari from where these ceramics were exported around the world. Oftentimes indistinguishable from Arita ware, Imari porcelain took design cues from Japanese textiles and included beautiful landscapes, trees and flowers, and kimono-clad figures—decoration that appealed to foreign audiences.
