Maker / Brand
The seventh generation Yazaemon describes his vision for Arita Porcelain Lab as "to modernize Arita Ware, the luxury Japanese porcelain culture, and to convey it to the world." Arita Porcelain Lab's tableware retains the aesthetic of "elegance" that Japanese people have valued since ancient times, and adds a stylish appearance to suit modern living spaces.
The colors of the tableware have been carefully selected, with new colors developed for traditional patterns and designs that freely combine traditional patterns to suit modern interiors. They have developed the original glaze through countless prototypes.
Arita Porcelain Lab also designed perfume bottles made of Arita Ware at the request of Guerlain, a French perfume and cosmetics maker, and collaborated with Laduree, a famous confectionery store, to produce tea and Arita Ware. The company is also deepening its ties overseas, with its tableware being used in a restaurant in the Mandarin Hotel (Paris, France).
Origin
Crafted in the historic town of Arita, located in Saga Prefecture, Arita ware stands as the most venerable porcelain production hub in the annals of Japanese history. Characterized by its ethereal translucent white porcelain adorned with vibrant paintings, it has profoundly influenced the porcelain craft across Europe.
Within Japan, Arita ware is held in high esteem as a prestigious brand, with the town of Arita acknowledged as a quintessential porcelain production area.

Soba Choko Cups
Soba choko cups are primarily designed to hold dipping broth accompanying soba, but they are also used for drinking tea and sake. Soba choko on the larger side are similar in size to yunomi cups, making them just right for casual tea drinking, while those on the smaller side are closer to guinomi cups, perfect for elegant sips of sake.
Regardless of how you use them, the versatility and charm of a soba choko make them a stylish and convenient addition to any table.
Blue
As a cool color, blue evokes feelings of calmness, nobility, coolness, and tranquility. It is highly suitable for use in a variety of everyday items especially in summer.
Blue is featured prominently in Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Mizu iro "pale aqua color," has been frequently used in summer kimonos since the Edo period (1603 CE - 1868 CE ). The color kon "navy blue," represented by indigo, conveys a sense of calm and sophistication and has been widely used in daily life.
You can find blue tablewares like sometsuke bowls and tea cups, the beautiful Tobe long plate and the elegant blue glaze Kutani vase all in Musubi Kiln.
