    Saga Pref. Nishimatsuragunaritachou Koubira 1-1-8
    "Arita is the first place in Japan where porcelain was made. From the 17th century onward, Arita ware was an important product of what was once Saga-Nabeshima Domain and was extensively exported abroad, where it is known and loved as ""Imari ware,"" ""Ko-Imari,"" and ""Old Imari."" Fukagawa Seiji, a company which furthered global interest in Arita ware and which converted it into an art form, was founded in 1894 by Chuji Fukagawa, and Fukagawa erected Fukagawa Seiji's flagship store right here in Arita with the intent of welcoming customers from around the world. Even today, the structure retains a strong atmosphere redolent of the bygone Meiji and Taisho periods; the exterior of the building is covered in scratch tile, while the interior is decorated with floor mosaics and stained-glass windows. In the second-floor museum, visitors can view outstanding pieces crafted by Fukagawa Seiji bearing the distinct ""Meiji modern"" design style (advance reservation required). Today, the building and collection of the second-floor museum have received the Heritage of Industrial Modernization designation."

    有田焼の名店ともいえる深川製磁。有田の旧道沿いに残る古い町並みの中央あたりに、深川製磁の本店がありました。さすがに、歴史と気品を感じる建物で、道路を挟んだ向かいには広い駐車場もありました。 店内に入ると、美術館のように、深川製磁の有田焼が並んでいます。ゆっくりと店内を見て歩こうとしていたら、お茶のサービスもありました。 途中で、一目見て「これ、ほしいなあ」と思ったお皿がありました。店内を一回...

    Saga Pref. Imarishi Higashiyamashirochou Nagahama 120-3
    Noritake got its start as a small knickknack shop which opened on New York’s Sixth Avenue in 1876. Here at this outlet shop you can buy Noritake tableware, such as ever-so-slightly bluish white porcelains and milky white bone China characterized by its delicacy and warmth. The closest station is Higashi-Yamashiro Station on the Matsuura Nishi-Kyushu Line.

    カーナビに出た道をそのまま行きました。途中から案内表示もありました。工業団地の一角にノリタケの工場があり門から車でそのまま入り左のほうへ案内のとおりに行くとアウトレットショップの前の駐車場に着きました。なかに入るとスタッフがひとりおり、品物は豊富でお買い得感満載でした。意外でしたが和食器も一部ありました。工場限定のマグカップと箸のセットを買って帰りました。マグカップは箱なしでセルフで包装でした。

    Saga Pref. Nishimatsuragunaritachou Kamikouhira 1-11-3
    A pottery shop located in 1-Chome Kamikohira, Arita Town, Nishimatsuura County, Saga Prefecture. The shop is the flagship location for the ARITA PORCELAIN LAB brand developed by Yazaemon-gama, a pottery studio established in 1804. The shop sells Arita ware tableware which combines traditional techniques with designs suited to modern lifestyles. There's also an adjoining cafe which serves dishes made with local ingredients on the brand's tableware.

    有田焼のお店で、カフェレストランが併設されています。コロナ対応で席はゆったり配置ですが、自分たちだけだったので、貸し切り気分でお茶を楽しみました。ラデュレとのコラボの器もあり素敵。紅茶にかぎり、器が選べる。カフェオレとかはえらべない。パーキングは一応あるが、２台なので、車で大勢でいくのにはむかない。

    Saga Pref. Nishimatsuragunaritachou Honmachi Otsu 3057
    "A cafe situated along National Route 35 in Otsu, Hon-machi, Arita Town, Nishimatsuura County, Saga Prefecture. The cafe serves a gozen meal, which comes with Arita's famous godofu tofu; ""Arita-yaki Gozen"", a meal consisting of an assortment of local delicacies served on Arita ware; Imari beef curry, Imari beef steaks; and Imari beef hamburg steaks. During teatime, the establishment also offers toast and pancakes topped with ice cream. Order a hot drink and you can choose which coffee cup it will be served in from among some 2,000 on display in the cafe."

    A lovely place to enjoy lunch and explore porcelain. Especially the choosing of your tea or coffee cup makes the experience enjoyable. Nice curries.

    A pottery studio located Otsu Okawachi-cho, Imari City. One of the pottery studios situated in Okawachiyama, an area which was home to pottery studios which officially supplied what was Nabeshima Domain from the Edo to the Meiji periods, this studio is the only one currently in operation which can trace its lineage directly to one of these fabled official kilns. The studio was the only one permitted by Nabeshima Domain to use the apricot leaf mark still imprinted on the backs of the studio's pieces.

    Saga Nishimatsuura-gun Aritacho Kobira 1-1-3
    The pottery was founded in 1957 in search of the beauty of tinted porcelain, and is always in search of new traditions, connecting and passing on the spirit of "Onsho Soshin" (the spirit of innovation from the old to the new) from one potter to another.

    Saga Nishimatsuura-gun Aritacho Kobira 2-1-3
    About 400 years ago, Ri Sampei discovered the ore used for Arita ware porcelain and laid the foundation for its development. This pottery is resurrecting the techniques he developed through repeated trial and error with other potters when he came to Japan from Korea to make porcelain. Using Arita's unique Izumiyama porcelain stone (known as Sanpeido) as a raw material, they make vessels that embrace modern living, as well as pieces with shading and fastening techniques rarely found even among early Imari ware.

    店にはいると主人がでてきました。店の奥にあるお買い得品を二つほど買いました。通常、レストランや料亭に出す品物の余り物でしたが、3,000円以上のものが1,000円以下で変えました。店の主人が品物選びのアドバイスをしてくれていろいろ参考になりました。有田のイベントもおしえてもらい短い時間でしたが、買い物以上に過ごせました。

Saga Areas

Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics. Rich in kaolin (a type of clay), Saga became the homeland of Arita ware, a delicate, decorative porcelain that is now celebrated worldwide and can be discovered in the towns of Arita, Imari, and Karatsu.
