    Saga Imari Okawachicho Otsu 1832
    A pottery on Nabeshima-hanyozaka founded in 1883. Look for the chimney with Aoyama Kiln written on it in Chinese characters. Imari Okawachiyama has about 30 potteries making Nabeshima ware, which has a long history of being produced under the authority of the ruling clan. Nabeshima ware is unique in that it is painted only with red, yellow, and green. It is said that the clan strictly controlled the production process and the porcelain did not circulate among the populace, meaning it was produced in small batches and was highly valuable. An array of pieces is on display in the show room, including everything from ceramic art to everyday tableware. They also suggest seasonal table arrangements.

Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics. Rich in kaolin (a type of clay), Saga became the homeland of Arita ware, a delicate, decorative porcelain that is now celebrated worldwide and can be discovered in the towns of Arita, Imari, and Karatsu.
