Porcelain was first produced in the Arita region of what is now Saga Prefecture in the early seventeenth century. It was referred to as Imari because it was shipped from the port of Imari for distribution throughout Japan. The Dutch East India company exported Imari porcelain to Europe from the mid seventeenth century on. There these porcelains became not only luxurious functional products also status symbols enjoyed by royalty and aristocrats in their palaces and manor houses. This exhibition presents about 190 examples of Imari porcelains, principally export Imari from the collection of the Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka.
