The first porcelain to be made in Imari City and Arita Village was crafted in the beginning of the 17th century.  The reason the name “Imari ware” is popular outside of Japan is because porcelain that was made in Arita was shipped out through Imari Port, so they were not distinguished as a separate type of porcelain and instead collectively called retailer Imari ware.
