This is an old revision of the document!
- Lasted from around 1615 (Genna) to 1868 (end of Edo)
- Early 伊万里: Thickly crafted, narrow foots, no biscuit-firing; shape inspired by Korean wares, motives by Chinese.
- 1650s: Thinly crafted, wide foot. Two styles:
- 藍九谷（あい くたに）(Cobalt 九谷) for simple blue-and-white porcelains
- Old 九谷 for polychrome pieces from that time.
→ These 3 are so different from the following styles, that they used to be believed to be from 九谷 kilns, not 伊万里! → These 3 also born from a desire to imitate Chinese Ming ceramics.
- Between 1660-1690 there was a kiln called 柿右衛門（かきえもん）, that originally produced 藍九谷; but then later blue-white wares known as 柿右衛門.
- If I google 柿右衛門, it's mostly polychrome pieces actually…
- This style is represented by motifs of red maples, deers, horsetails…
- Influenced by Chinese Ching ceramics.
- 鍋島（なべしま）
