FYI: Arita and Imari are closely related terms in Japanese porcelain, but they refer to slightly different aspects. Arita refers to the place of origin, the town of Arita in Saga Prefecture, where the porcelain was first produced in Japan. Imari, on the other hand, refers to the port from which this porcelain was shipped, primarily to Europe. Therefore, while all Imari porcelain is Arita porcelain, not all Arita porcelain is necessarily called Imari.
