Arita: The Pinnacle of Japanese Porcelain

Arita porcelain refers to the ceramics produced in Arita-cho, located in Saga Prefecture. Renowned for its supreme quality and universally admired aesthetics, Arita porcelain is distinctively hard and resilient. Its white variants boast a high transparency that almost exudes a sense of translucence. The raw materials essential for crafting Arita porcelain were first discovered in the region at the onset of the Edo era (1616).

Kihara: Bridging Tradition and the Future

Operating from Arita—the heartland of Japanese porcelain manufacturing—Kihara has been synonymous with top-tier Japanese porcelain for over four centuries. While traditional motifs remain integral to their designs, Kihara often reinterprets them in contemporary styles or melds them with entirely fresh patterns. The firm adheres to time-honored manufacturing methods, seamlessly integrating them with cutting-edge techniques, such as 3D mold design. Arita porcelain, especially its white variants, has garnered immense appreciation in Europe over the decades, standing out with its refined and delicate aesthetics. Moreover, the unparalleled shapes, durability, and resilience of Arita porcelain further accentuate its allure.

Every product is unique, and slight variations from the depicted images are possible. Given their artisanal origins, minor irregularities are not flaws but markers of authenticity and craftsmanship. They in no way diminish the product's value.
