Pieces made in these kilns are known simply as \"Nabeshima\" and are highly acclaimed worldwide. Because they were intended as gifts, the resulting products were of exceptional quality and possessed a refined, dignified character. It is believed that the official kiln was originally established at Iwataya-gawachi (Arita) during the Kan'ei era (1624–1644), relocated to Minami-gawara (Arita) during the Kanbun era (1661–1673), and finally moved to Okawachi (Imari City) during the Enpō era (1673–1680). While \"Nabeshima\" ware includes celadon and blue-and-white pieces, those featuring overglaze enamel colors are specifically known as \"Iro-Nabeshima\" (Colored Nabeshima). The decoration of Iro-Nabeshima is based on a four-color palette: the blue of underglaze cobalt, and the red, green, and yellow of overglaze enamels. The Nabeshima style lives on today as a decorative technique in modern Arita ware.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eThis decorative plate is meticulously crafted—from the initial wheel-throwing to the final hand-painting—using the advanced techniques that underpin the long history and tradition of Arita ware.

The six gourds are associated with the phrase *mu-byotan* (six gourds), a homophone for \"no illness\" (*mubyo*), making them a beloved symbol of prayers for good health and freedom from sickness. Meanwhile, the saying \"a horse emerging from a gourd\" signifies unexpected good fortune or a delightful surprise, serving as an auspicious motif that symbolizes hope and prosperity. By combining the imagery of the gourd and the horse, this piece embodies a uniquely Japanese sentiment, wishing for both health, longevity, and good fortune.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWhether displayed in a *tokonoma* (alcove), entryway, reception room, or living area, this plate adds an air of elegance and splendor to the space, allowing you to appreciate the profound beauty of Japanese traditional craftsmanship.
