Imari bowls cover many types of porcelain in the Japanese culture, the name being used because the bowls were sold out of the port in Northern Kyushu. The porcelain ware was inspired by a design of the Chinese during the Ming Dynasty. The porcelain is decorated and is also inspired by the Chinese culture; however the Japanese made the designs unique to their society.
