2022.07.29 〜 2022.11.06
About 80 pieces of Ko-Imari, loved by the royalty and aristocracy of Western Europe, are exhibited.
This exhibition focuses on the relationship between Imariyaki porcelain of the Edo period and the rest of the world. Imariyaki was Japan’s first domestic porcelain, created in the 1610s, and was fired in the area centered on Arita in the Saga Nabeshima Domain.
In the mid-17th century, when China, then a major porcelain power, curtailed its export business, Imariyaki began to be exported overseas. Imariyaki ware gained popularity in the West, and was even used as interior decorations in the castles of royalty and aristocrats. This exhibition focuses on the export period of Imariyaki during the Edo period. About 80 pieces of Ko-Imari ware, including Kakiemon style and Ko-Imari Kinrande style Imari ware, which were loved by Western royalty and aristocracy, will be exhibited.
