Discover Arita Ware: Japan’s Oldest and Most Iconic Porcelain
Arita ware, known in Japan as Arita-yaki (有田焼), is one of the country’s most celebrated porcelain traditions. Originating over 400 years ago in Saga Prefecture, Arita ware was the first porcelain ever produced in Japan and quickly became prized across Asia and Europe for its luminous white clay, refined hand-painting, and exceptional durability.

Today, Arita ware continues to blend tradition with innovation, with artisans preserving centuries-old kiln techniques while exploring modern forms and colors.
