" Imari " in Japanese Kanji has a foreign flavor of the lands far far away. Since ancient times, the people living on the islands of Japan dreamed about a place where they have never visited before. From a southern sea port on the island of Kyushu, Imari porcelain traveled across the seas and finally reached to the shore of Europe. They were displayed in Kings' & Queens' castles and treasured for years and years. At first, rather a naive and simple white porcelain with a blue decoration, gradually added more colors with gold for its richness and wealth in red, yellow, green and purple. Searching for Imari for many years, I have touched and felt its makers' passion, creating a perfect world through their imaginations. Emiko Gilmore, May 2005 |
