In 1616, under the rule of the Saga domain lord Naoshige Nabeshima, pottery stone was found in what is now Saga Prefecture and production began. Because the wares were made in Arita and shipped from the port of Imari, they are also known as Imari ware. Carried to Europe by the Dutch East India Company — the only trading partner permitted during Japan’s period of national seclusion — the porcelain was called “white gold” and furnished the courts of royalty and nobility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSakura\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cherry blossom is Japan’s flower.
