	Imari porcelain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Imari porcelain is the European collectors' name for Japanese wares made at Arita, in the former Hizen Province, northwestern Kyushu, and exported from the port of Imari, Saga specifically for the European export trade.
		The kilns at Arita formed the heart of the Japanese porcelain industry, which developed in the course of the 17th century, after the white kaolin clay was discovered, and came to rival the output of the Chinese kilns at Ching-te-Chen.
		The trade peaked in the late 17th century and was slowly replaced by Chinese kilns in the early 18th century, as social conditions in China settled with the full establishment of the Qing Dynasty.
