Fukagawa is a family, a brand name, a place and nowadays a porcelain factory in the Arita region. Its history starts with Ezaiemon Fukagawa who in 1856 became head of his family's porcelain business and in 1875 founded Koransha (The Company of the Scented Orchid) in Arita, Japan, to produce tableware for export. In 1894 the modern Fukagawa company was founded by Chuji Fukagawa, with the Fukagawa trade mark of Mount Fuji and a stream. (This vase does not carry modern Fukagawa marks and therefore pre-dates 1894.) In the Meiji period (1868-1913) the Hichozan Shinpo-sei brand name was used by several Arita porcelain makers such as Fukagawa as well as on other products for export from the Mikawachi kilns. The Hichozan Shinpo-sei brand was used around 1860-1880. Viewing welcomed - please contact us in advance.
