In fact, Ko-Imari refers to porcelain Arita ware produced in the Arita region during the Edo period.
Ko-Imari was Arita-yaki of the Edo period, but in fact, pottery was still being made in Imari at that time.
That is Nabeshima-yaki, which was the official kiln of the Hizen domain.
The Nabeshima family, which ruled the Hizen domain, was the origin of the name.
While Arita-yaki was a trade item, Nabeshima-yaki was a gift to the shogun and the imperial court.
At the time when Nabeshima ware was first produced, Chinese dyed porcelain was very popular among the upper class in Japan for use in tea ceremony utensils.
Nabeshima ware followed this trend and produced Kuresu Sometsuke* and Iro-Nabeshima, which was colored Kuresu Sometsuke.
*染付Kuresu Somezuke: Ceramics painted with a glaze containing cobalt, and ceramics using this technique. It is called “blue flower” in China because it changes from blue to dark blue when fired.
Initially imitated by the Chinese, Nabeshima ware gradually evolved into a more Japanese style and refined painting for the Japanese upper class.
Nabeshima ware was rarely seen by the general public during the Edo period and was produced in extremely small quantities, only occasionally appearing on the market as disposed articles.
For this reason, the market value of Nabeshima ware is extremely high.
