History of ARITA and IMARI ware (Japanese Pottery) /// Pottery production started in Japan in the 17th century. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of ARITA and IMARI ware were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post. The tradition and techniques of ARITA and IMARI ware have been preserved for 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the challenge of producing ambitious new works.
