During the 1610s, porcelain was made in Japan for the first time in the Arita region, utilizing the techniques of the potters from the Korean Peninsula. These wares were known as Imari ware, named after the port from which they were shipped to other regions.

A NIPPON mark pre-dates 1921 although more modern pieces have since re-adopted this. Between 1921 and 1941, pieces destined for the US export market were required to be marked 'Japan' or 'Made in Japan'. Pre-1926 pieces will feature a hand-painted mark with later pieces bearing marks made by stencil.

Earthenwares were made as early as the Jōmon period (10,500–300 BC), giving Japan one of the oldest ceramic traditions in the world. Japan is further distinguished by the unusual esteem that ceramics holds within its artistic tradition, owing to the enduring popularity of the tea ceremony.
