Article History

Imari, city, western Saga ken (prefecture), northwestern Kyushu, Japan. It is situated on deeply indented Imari Bay. The two islands of Taka and Fuku in the bay form a natural mole, protecting the city’s harbour.

Imari was once a base for Japanese pirates. By the Edo (Tokugawa) period (1603–1867) it had become the trade and shipping centre for the fine porcelain (called Imari, or Arita, ware) manufactured at Arita, 6 miles (10 km) south. Porcelain has since been produced at Okawachiyama, the southern part of Imari. The city also has lumber, marine products, and petrochemical industries. Pop. (2010) 57,161; (2015) 55,238.
