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\u003eWhy a Paulownia Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaulownia wood is light, resists moisture and insects, and moves with changes in humidity — which is why it has been used in Japan for centuries to store what is valuable. A piece delivered in a paulownia box arrives ready to give, and the box itself is part of the gift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents and Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRice bowl × 1, booklet, paulownia box.\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 12cm \/ Height: 5.2cm \/ Weight 140g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs each piece is handmade, slight variations in size may occur.\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Gagyu Kiln","offers":[{"title":"Right facing","offer_id":54711588684051,"sku":"4573593924184","price":24700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Left facing","offer_id":54711588716819,"sku":"4573593924191","price":24700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/4227\/1763\/files\/4930_01_800.jpg?v=1789453818","url":"https:\/\/www.jtopia.com\/products\/4930","provider":"JTOPIA global","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
