Kakiemon is a style of Japanese porcelain named after the 17th-century ceramicist Sakaida Kakiemon. This style is a variety 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, highly detailed decorations. Characteristic features include a pure white background called "nigosh," and decorations in "aka-e" (red colors), depicting nature and landscapes.
This style was very popular in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, especially in Holland and England, and had a significant influence on European ceramics, such as Meissen porcelain and Chelsea porcelain.
