    "Arita is the first place in Japan where porcelain was made. From the 17th century onward, Arita ware was an important product of what was once Saga-Nabeshima Domain and was extensively exported abroad, where it is known and loved as ""Imari ware,"" ""Ko-Imari,"" and ""Old Imari."" Fukagawa Seiji, a company which furthered global interest in Arita ware and which converted it into an art form, was founded in 1894 by Chuji Fukagawa, and Fukagawa erected Fukagawa Seiji's flagship store right here in Arita with the intent of welcoming customers from around the world. Even today, the structure retains a strong atmosphere redolent of the bygone Meiji and Taisho periods; the exterior of the building is covered in scratch tile, while the interior is decorated with floor mosaics and stained-glass windows. In the second-floor museum, visitors can view outstanding pieces crafted by Fukagawa Seiji bearing the distinct ""Meiji modern"" design style (advance reservation required). Today, the building and collection of the second-floor museum have received the Heritage of Industrial Modernization designation."

    Noritake got its start as a small knickknack shop which opened on New York’s Sixth Avenue in 1876. Here at this outlet shop you can buy Noritake tableware, such as ever-so-slightly bluish white porcelains and milky white bone China characterized by its delicacy and warmth. The closest station is Higashi-Yamashiro Station on the Matsuura Nishi-Kyushu Line.

    カーナビに出た道をそのまま行きました。途中から案内表示もありました。工業団地の一角にノリタケの工場があり門から車でそのまま入り左のほうへ案内のとおりに行くとアウトレットショップの前の駐車場に着きました。なかに入るとスタッフがひとりおり、品物は豊富でお買い得感満載でした。意外でしたが和食器も一部ありました。工場限定のマグカップと箸のセットを買って帰りました。マグカップは箱なしでセルフで包装でした。

    有田焼のお店で、カフェレストランが併設されています。コロナ対応で席はゆったり配置ですが、自分たちだけだったので、貸し切り気分でお茶を楽しみました。ラデュレとのコラボの器もあり素敵。紅茶にかぎり、器が選べる。カフェオレとかはえらべない。パーキングは一応あるが、２台なので、車で大勢でいくのにはむかない。

    "A cafe situated along National Route 35 in Otsu, Hon-machi, Arita Town, Nishimatsuura County, Saga Prefecture.

    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.

    Saga Nishimatsuura-gun Aritacho Kobira 2-1-3
    About 400 years ago, Ri Sampei discovered the ore used for Arita ware porcelain and laid the foundation for its development. This pottery is resurrecting the techniques he developed through repeated trial and error with other potters when he came to Japan from Korea to make porcelain. Using Arita's unique Izumiyama porcelain stone (known as Sanpeido) as a raw material, they make vessels that embrace modern living, as well as pieces with shading and fastening techniques rarely found even among early Imari ware.

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.
