KIHARA Established in 1955, KIHARA, located in Arita-cho, Japan, is committed to combining the excellent technology and innovative design of Arita-yaki for 400 years. KIHARA's traditional techniques of inheriting for centuries have been further improved, successfully connecting the connection between traditional crafts and the new generation. Arita Originated in the Edo period of more than 400 years ago, it is located in Arita-cho, Saga Prefecture, Japan. The unique local ceramic stone and Quanshan magnet are used as raw materials, and the elegant white porcelain is molded with excellent firing technology, which makes "Arita-burning" one of the representatives of Japanese porcelain. In the 16th century, it replaced the war-affected Jingdezhen, which became a popular commodity in Europe in the number of 10,000 per year. In the 18th century, the annual output reached more than one million. Because the European royal family loves Arita, and hopes to have the same or better technology in Europe, through continuous research and development, it has spawned the formula of high-grade porcelain representing “bone china” and also contributed to the birth of “Meisen porcelain”. The three places that are famous for their porcelain and have their origins, "Arita-cho", "Meisen City" and "Jingdezhen" have become sister cities in modern times, continuing cultural and technical exchanges. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0254/0393/files/unspecified-1_76506c26-7e13-4222-a637-6ba4ac961952.jpg?10727389150364182179 https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0254/0393/files/unspecified-2_782dbf00-17d6-4d1e-8188-3b4fa76b923d.jpg?10727389150364182179 https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0254/0393/files/unspecified-3_4419f255-7e4e-44d4-972b-f49c57443bd5.jpg?10727389150364182179 https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0254/0393/files/unspecified-4_cfe87685-0bbf-408f-a3af-c1fe28b05d4b.jpg?10727389150364182179 https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0254/0393/files/unspecified-5_842bfdde-af8b-4a4e-8f54-880321e068ca.jpg?10727389150364182179 Dimensions: φ 8.5 cm; H 8 cm Material: white magnetic Weight: 100g Warranty: defective return Content: porcelain cup x 1 Place of Origin: Japan > Saga Prefecture > Arita-cho
