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 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.
Imaris 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.
MARKINGS:
The two red Japanese script characters are: Bi jutsu = "beautiful artwork" which are probably a brand name or product line. The three black vertical Japanese script characters read IMARI. Underneath is stamped IMARI WARE in English. This mark is modern, late 20th century.

LOTUS FLOWERS:
Back in Egyptians times, the lotus flower was very important in their religion. Meaning creation and rebirth, it was a symbol of the sun, because at nightfall it closes and goes beneath the water and at dawn it climbs up above the water and reopens. It was the only plant to flower and fruit at the same time, as it would emerge as pure white from the depths of the muddy swamp and grow above the water. The Lotus is a sacred flower in both Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the path to spiritual awakening and enlightenment. In Buddhism, the lotus is associated with purity, spiritual awakening, and faithfulness. The flower is considered pure as it is able to emerge from murky waters in the morning and be perfectly clean.
