"Arita Porcelain" is one of the most famous Japanese traditional handiwork.
Also it's called "Imari Porcelain". 
There is little difference between them,
but when we say about Arita or Imari, it's same meaning.






I will show how Arita Porcelain is being sold in Japan.


There are many kinds of Arita Porcelain, the very expensive one that have great quality to real cheap one.
Cheap one is usually made by machine, not handiwork.


The one I want to introduce to the world is "REAL Arita Porcelain".

Those have really beautiful design written by Japanese brush pen, each product is completed by hand.
