Searching all of Japan for handcrafted items that express its heart and soul, our proprietor, KASHIYUKA, presents things that bring a bit of luxury to everyday life. Her journey this time took her to Arita, in Saga prefecture. She encountered the beloved, graceful porcelainware known as Iro-nabeshima, at the site of a fabled kiln with a 370-year history.

  • Imaemon, in the Arita region of Saga prefecture, has been making colorful hand-painted porcelain for about 370 years. Here is the paint finishing studio where they apply red and green to the painted plants and flowers. The picture above shows a ceramic piece by Imaizumi Imaemon, the 14th master in the lineage of this kiln, who is regarded as a Living National Treasure. “The chic color and the white outlines of the painted forms are just fantastic!,” says our own shopkeeper, KASHIYUKA.
  • Purchase No. 46 [Iro-nabeshima Futamono (Lidded Porcelainware)]Elegant, painted porcelain that continues the tradition of artists whose patrons were the ancient Nabeshima clan.
  • The products of successive generations are arranged together at the studio. Comparing them one by one, KASHIYUKA remarked, “It’s so interesting that despite having the same shapes and patterns, the pieces each express themselves differently according to the period.”
