Imari is a place of production of Japanese ceramics, otherwise known as "Arita porcelain". This is the port of an island. Imari porcelain was first exported by the Dutch, with their Compagnie Orientale des Provinces-Unies (the V.O.C). These are Europeanized decors but still very much inspired by the great traditions of Asian spirituality. The Imari style is characterized by three dominant colors: cobalt blue, red drawing on saffron and the white background of porcelain. Imari porcelain had a notable influence on the Indian companies (we speak of Chinese Imari to designate the porcelain of the Indian company), Delft earthenware, Dresden porcelain and the Meissen factory and even on Limoges porcelain in the 20th century.
