The Significance of Japanese Antiques to the History of Japan
Japanese antiques that come in the form of pottery and other porcelain pieces date back to 600 BC. For porcelain pieces, most of them are from the early 17th century. This is since porcelain clay was only discovered at the time on isle of Kyushu.
Ismari is the term used to refer to Japanese porcelain. That is also a name of the city where porcelain is shipped out. The father of Japanese porcelain is Ri Sampei. He is a porcelain maker from Korea. He was brought to Japan by the Japanese feudal lords.
Japanese Porcelain Tea Sets
During the 17th century, porcelain tea sets have become very popular. These tea sets are even exported. The Chinese stopped exporting it at the time of Civil War so the Dutch convinced the Japanese to do it. This is also since there is a great demand for porcelain in Europe.
Types of Japanese Porcelain
? Kakiemon porcelain – started in 1640s during the invention of colored enamel. It features a stark white background and small designs with bright colors. The design would either be birds or nature. This type of Japanese porcelain greatly influenced French, German and English porcelain.
? Hirado porcelain – This type became popular between the years 1751 to 1843. It was then considered as one of the best types of porcelain in Japan. It is usually made into a teapot, vase, figurine and hand warmer. It features white porcelain having a blue or brown underglaze.
? Nabeshima ware – This type is made up of vases, plates and bowls. During the 17th century, only the royal family can use these. However, there were problems with the porcelain as most had flaws. It features a blue underglaze with large designs that are in gold, green and red foreground.
? Fukagawa porcelain – This type came out during the 19th century. Its founder is Ezaiemon Fukugawa. He distributed porcelain that feature a combination of both western and oriental design throughout America and Europe.
Nippon Porcelain
This is a favorite among the Americans. “Nippon” means “Japan”. Don’t be mistaken because it is not a type of porcelain. It is a time period of porcelain containing the mark of “Nippon”.
Production started in the year 1891 and ended n 1921. After that year, porcelain only stated the name word “Japan” instead on “Nippon”. It is also hand painted until the year 1904. It also comes in different designs.
