"Somenishiki" (literally "dyed and brocaded") is a traditional Arita ware style characterized by the use of colors such as red, green, blue, and yellow. The process begins with underglaze blue painting, followed by glazing and firing at 1,300°C; subsequently, traditional Arita overglaze enamels are applied, and the piece is fired again at 800°C. Because a separate firing is required for each color applied, the creation of a single piece involves between four and ten firing cycles. The Somenishiki style—specifically known as "Iro-Nabeshima" (Colored Nabeshima)—originated around 1675; these pieces were initially produced as furnishings for the castle and as gifts for the Shogunate, feudal lords, and the Imperial Court. These techniques and traditions continue to be preserved to this day.
The Iro-Nabeshima Style
Wares intended for gifts or personal use by the Nabeshima family of Saga were produced at the domain's official kiln. Pieces created at this kiln are known simply as "Nabeshima" and are highly acclaimed worldwide. Because they were commissioned as gifts, the resulting products were distinguished by their exceptional quality and dignified aesthetic. The official kiln is believed to have been established in 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 Enpo era (1673–1680). While "Nabeshima" ware encompasses celadon and underglaze blue styles, pieces featuring overglaze enamel colors are specifically referred to as "Iro-Nabeshima." The decoration of Iro-Nabeshima is based on a palette of four colors: the blue of the underglaze and the red, green, and yellow of the overglaze enamels. The Nabeshima style lives on today as a decorative technique in modern Arita ware.
