IMARI STYLE: For ceramics collectors, Imari is a porcelain, a palette, and a passion. The style gets its name from the town of Imari on the coast of Japans largest island, Kyushu, which served as the primary shipping port for porcelain made in the nearby city of Arita. Imari's decorative style and bold color scheme became popular immediately with aristocratic collectors in Europe. The colorful designs were copied and interpreted by Chinese, European, and English factories. Even today, Imari porcelain brightens collections around the world. IMARI STYLE REFERS TO A TYPE OF DECORATION DEVELOPED IN ARITA IN THE LAST TWO DECADES OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY. IT IS CHARACTERIZED BY ITS PALETTE OF UNDERGLAZE COBALT BLUE AND OVERGLAZE ENAMELS OF STRONG COLORS, SUCH AS IRON RED AND GOLD. Beyond the glaze, decoration is equally distinctive. Imari designs usually show auspicious symbols and stylized pictorial scenes. The Imari style was widely copied by European potters.The Chinese also created porcelain in the Imari style, almost exclusively for the export market.
