A 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. The dome bell is wrapped in roughly thirty fine cobalt-blue stripes — the same 染付 (sometsuke) underglaze technique that defined Arita's earliest pieces.

About Arita ware and sometsuke
According to the maker's included pamphlet, Arita porcelain began in 元和二 (1616), when Lee Sam-pyeong (李参平), a Korean potter who emigrated to north Kyushu, discovered porcelain stone at Izumiyama (泉山, Saga Prefecture) and fired Japan's first porcelain at the Kamishirakawa Tengudani kiln. 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.
