Imari is the European name for Japanese porcelain wares made in the town of Arita and exported from the port of Imari in Western Japan. Typical Imari ware is richly patterned in iron red and underglaze blue and is often lavishly gilded. Made only for export to the West, Imari ware was also imitated by Chinese and European potters.
