Toetsu Kiln is a traditional craft that has been nurtured over the course of fourteen generations of four hundred years of history.
 
Arita-yaki porcelain has its special technique which comes from 400 years of long history. It has influenced some of the most famous ceramics in Europe and it is the pride of Japan. (Arita's porcelains are mainly known in Europe as "Imari", from the small port from which these porcelains left for Europe, exported by the first Dutch merchants.)
