From Global Knowledge Compendium of Traditional Crafts and Artisanal Techniques
Ko-Imari (literally Old Imari) refers to the earliest and most iconic style of Japanese Imari ware produced primarily during the 17th century. These porcelains were made in the town of Arita and exported from the nearby port of Imari, which gave the ware its name. Ko-Imari is especially notable for its dynamic decorative style and historical significance in early global porcelain trade.
