      The World of Komari

It is the first porcelain in Japan that was born in Hizen Arida during the Edo period. The gorgeous brocade was made for domestic use in the Genroku era as a high-class tableware for the privileged class of the time, such as Australian farmers and Australian merchants.

The base created by Kakiemon is soft and warm pure white, which enhances the color picture. This white refers to rice sharpening juice in the dialect of the Saga region of "Nigoshi".

The brave tiger looking at the flowers of peony and wisteria hakama is strange and windy.

Kakiemon was sent from Imari Port as a high-class tableware at the time, attracting the royal nobles of Europe. The strong king of August of Germany was strongly influenced by Kakiemon and was included in the collection, and the high technology and aesthetic sense of the Japanese contributed to the birth of "Meissen porcelain".
