Kakiemon Foundation Japan, grounded in 370 years of the history of Japanese porcelain with overglazed enamel, was established in 2014 in order to provide opportunities for people around the world to learn about Japanese culture.

The Foundation strives to inform a wider variety of people, both nationally and internationally, through exhibitions, conferences, and other means of sharing cultural knowledge, of the essence and special qualities of traditional Japanese aesthetics that are expressed in Kakiemon-style porcelain. This multicolored porcelain was exported through the port of Nagasaki in the late 17th-century to destinations such as East Asia and Europe, and continues to enjoy a high valuation throughout the world today. Through these activities, Kakiemon Foundation Japan hopes to contribute, if even in a modest way, to a richer life for everyone.
