In the mid-17th century, Kakiemon’s vividly painted porcelain became highly prized by European royalty and nobility. Its warm, soft white porcelain body, combined with asymmetrical designs that made excellent use of empty space, set a trend that later greatly influenced the birth of European porcelain, including Meissen.
The grounds of the Kakiemon Kiln feature an exhibition hall, workshop, kilns, and thatched-roof houses, harmonizing beautifully with the surrounding hills to create a bright and tranquil atmosphere. Come and discover the secrets behind the creation of these stunning porcelains, born from this remarkable place.
