Truly, many people have fine experiences from going to Japan and have also become aware of Fukagawa Porcelain during their stay in Japan. I believe it is because this type of porcelain art is one of significant value, quality, and culture.
This is a comment from a gentleman who has recently purchased a pair of Ryu Japanese teacups (0060-335)

Here is the comment:
”I learned about Fukagawa Porcelain when I lived in Japan from 1967-1968. I've collected various pieces over the years.
I am very pleased with the Ryu cups. I have a fondness for dragon designs, and the Ryu cups are wonderful.”

I have a complete set of pattern 901 that serves 16.
My grandmother bought it in Japan in the 50's. The china is absolutely beautiful!!

My wife and I have been collecting antique Chinese and Japanese porcelain for several years.
From Japan, we have some items from the Hizen region around 1700 (Imari porcelain) and also from later Meiji period (1868-1912). The Chinese and Japanese items are the very best!
Our knowledge of the famous Fukagawa porcelain comes from a literature about porcelain, from auction catalogues and from the Swedish expert on oriental porcelain Jan-Erik Nilsson. We will very soon try to buy on auction a beautiful blue and white bowl from Fukagawa from the Taisho period (1912-1926).
We are very happy to ascertain that Fukagawa still produce porcelain of the highest quality. We are very fond of the combination of blue, vivid red and gold on a white and "clean" porcelain vessel - like the vase we just bought.

I became familiar with Fukagawa in 1977 or 1978 through a gallery in New York City that carried the firm's porcelain and purchased a few items at the times. I was impressed back then and continue to be impressed with the workmanship and quality of Fukagawa porcelain. They are true works of art that add immense beauty to any setting. The quality of Fukagawa porcelain is extraordinary and the service and dedication of the people at Fukagawa-Seiji is unsurpassed. Not only is Fukagawa porcelain beautiful to behold but also it captivates the heart.

I own a huge and remarkable Imari porcelain (old Arita porcelain) bowl, that the father of Chuji Fukagawa(the original founder of Fukagawa-Seiji), Ezaiemon Fukagawa, created sometime after 1856 and almost 140 years ago. My great-aunt visited Japan in the 1870's and fell in love with the beauty of porcelain ceramics produced at that time. I have also had a great love for Imari porcelains since I was a child, observing with awe the remarkable objects she had collected. I am almost 64 now and still have a very special place in my heart for this timeless aspect of Japanese art.
