The word, " Imari " in Japanese Kanji has foreign flavor of the lands far far away.
Since ancient times, people living on the islands of Japan dreamed about the
places where they have never visited before. From the southern sea port on the
island of Kyushu, Imari porcelain traveled across the seas and finally reached to
the shore of Europe. They were displayed in the Kings' & Queens' castles and
treasured for years and years.
At first, it was rather naive and simple white porcelain with blue decoration.
Gradually colors & gold were added for its richness and wealth in red, yellow, green
and purple.
Searching for Imari for many years, I have touched and felt its makers' passion, the
passion for creating the perfect world through their imaginations.
