**Kinsai (Gold Decoration)**
Kinsai is a traditional Arita ware style characterized by intricate gold ornamentation. The process begins with underglaze painting followed by glazing and firing at 1,300°C. Next, traditional Arita overglaze enamels (in colors such as red, green, blue, and yellow) are applied and fired at 800°C. Finally, gold is used to add decorative patterns. Because the piece is fired after the application of each color, the creation of a single work involves five to ten separate firings. The result is a magnificent, dignified style that combines brilliant gold accents with inventive color schemes and layouts.
**Dragon (Ryu)**
The dragon is a mythical creature believed to be a divine beast of the heavens; it is said to inhabit the water, soar through the air on clouds, and possess supernatural power. Along with the tortoise, *qilin* (kirin), and phoenix, it is counted among the "Four Auspicious Beasts." In China, starting from the Yuan Dynasty, dragon motifs were reserved for the Emperor's robes and were forbidden for use outside the imperial court. In Japan, dragons have been cherished since the Heian and Kamakura periods, with their motifs appearing in a wide variety of art forms, including paintings and ceramics. The dragon is considered an auspicious symbol that invites career advancement, rising fortune, and business success, while also protecting people from all manner of calamity.
**Old Imari Style**
Ceramics produced in the Hizen region (modern-day Saga and Nagasaki prefectures) from the late 17th to the late 18th century were exported to Europe via the port of Imari. Consequently, these ceramics came to be known both domestically and internationally as "Imari" (or "Old Imari") after the port's name. This style—characterized by deep underglaze blue tones, the lavish use of red and gold enamels, and floral patterns that cover the entire surface of the vessel—is thought to reflect the prosperous spirit of the Genroku era. Hizen ceramics exported to Europe were highly prized and displayed in the palaces of royalty and the mansions of the aristocracy. This graceful and magnificent style, which captivated 17th-century Europe, remains beloved today and endures as a signature style of Arita ware.
