Because it was shipped from Imari Port, it is also called "Imari" or Imari-yaki. It uses materials such as Izumiyama stone and Amakusa stone, which are selected depending on the type of porcelain. The works are broadly classified into Ko-Imari, Ko-Kutani style, Kakiemon style, and Kinrande (gold brocade) depending on the manufacturing period and style. In addition, there are works that were only made for presentation, and those from the Nabeshima clan are called "Nabeshima style," and those presented to the Imperial Family are called "Kinri style." Until porcelain production began in various places in the late Edo period, Arita was the only place in Japan that continued to produce porcelain for a long time.
