【Joshi-Tabi (女子旅) - Girls’ Travel】 Arita porcelain: Refined beauty acknowledged around the world Arita, a small town surrounded by the mountains of Saga, has been producing Arita porcelain (also known as Imari porcelain) for nearly 400 hundred years. Though there are different styles of Arita porcelain, many people recognize it as pure white chinaware, with delicate paintings in cobalt blue, iron red and gold. During the 16th and 17th centuries, many of these were exported to European countries, and gained international recognition for its pristine beauty and quality. In 2010, Arita wine cups were named the best souvenir from Japan. SHOBIDO-HONTEN, based in Arita, has made these precious wares available in the heart of Tokyo.
