Gen'emon-gama has inherited the traditional techniques (tewaza) and the spirit of Ko-Imari. From the potter's wheel, underglaze painting, main kiln firing, overglaze painting to the overglaze kiln, skilled specialists in each field use the finest materials and work with care on each piece. Here, we present the Gen'emon-gama pottery, which relentlessly pursues genuine functional beauty, no matter how times change. ☆ Arita-yaki (Arita ware) refers to porcelain manufactured in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, and surrounding areas, which became widely used after the Meiji era. During the Edo period, it was called Imari-yaki or Hizen-yaki. In the late 16th century, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered the invasion of Korea, the Nabeshima clan, who were dispatched, brought back Korean potters, including Kim Gae-sam-pyeong (also known as Yi Sam-pyeong). Later, Kim Gae-sam-pyeong moved to Arita in the early 17th century and is believed to have discovered porcelain stone, the raw material for porcelain, in Izumiyama. As the first place in Japan where porcelain was fired, it has been producing mainly tableware and art crafts for 400 years.
