Kakiemon (Kakiemon) is a style of Japanese porcelain that is named after the 17th-century ceramist Sakaid Kakiemon. This style is a variation of Arita-yaki, one of the oldest and most famous types of Japanese ceramics, originating from the city of Arita in Saga Prefecture on the island of Kyushu.
Kakiemon is known for its bright enamel colors on a white background and luxurious, very detailed decorations. Characteristic features include a pure white background called "nigoshi" and decorations in "aka-e" (red colors), with images of nature and landscapes.
The style was very popular in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, especially in Holland and England, and had a great influence on European ceramics such as Meissen china and Chelsea china.
