It's known for its rich pottery history, dating back to the discovery of kaolin clay in the early 17th century, and features numerous kilns, museums, and shops, with its main street hosting Japan's largest ceramic fair annually during Golden Week. Arita is where porcelain production in Japan began, and its wares were exported globally, sometimes labeled as Imari-yaki".
