Description
Hi, I live on the southern island of Japan called Amakusa. Amakusa is surrounded by the warm emerald sea, where wild dolphins thrive. In the 17th century, white China-stone raw material was discovered in Amakusa. This China-stone is renowned for being the highest quality raw material for crafting white porcelain. Our Amakusa China-stone has been utilized in the production of high-grade porcelain, such as Arita and Seto wares, up to the present day. The drawing on the pottery is of a dragonfly, which is a common motif in Japanese culture. [Origin of Amakusa Porcelain Ware] According to the history of the Ueda family, stone mining began in 1728 by the Ueda family's third generation, who were the progenitors of the Ueda family in Amakusa.
