The earliest Arita work was decorated in 染付 (sometsuke) — cobalt-blue painting under a clear glaze on a white porcelain body — which remains the foundation of the Arita tradition today. The fine-line stripes on this piece sit squarely in that lineage, before Sakaida Kakiemon developed overglaze enamel in the early 17th century and the Dutch East India Company began shipping Arita porcelain to Europe through Imari port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGifting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFather's Day, anniversary, birthday — navy-and-white reads as masculine, classic, gift-ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousewarming and new-home — a classic Japanese new-home gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoastal home, beach house, Hamptons-style décor lovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModernists, minimalists, japandi and scandi interior fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTea-ceremony enthusiasts and lovers of Japanese craft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReference conversions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7.5 cm ≈ 3.0\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 cm ≈ 2.4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e75 g ≈ 2.6 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ZenKiln","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47554448064742,"sku":"ZK-FURIN-NNT-KG1615-LINE","price":33.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/5392\/5350\/files\/DSC8718.webp?v=1776849083"},{"product_id":"arita-floral-ceramic-windchime","title":"Arita Hakuji Wind Chime — Hand-Painted Sakura Cherry Blossom Furin, Dami Sometsuke Porcelain","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hand-painted porcelain wind chime from Arita — Japan's first porcelain town, where Lee Sam-pyeong fired the country's first hakuji (white porcelain) in 1616.
