There was porcelain that had made the journey across the sea from Japan.From the Meiji Era, beginning in 1868, to the early Showa period (beginning in 1912), Koransha creations sparkled in the First Prize and Grand Prix selections of international expositions the world over. We are pleased to introduce a new line of plates and bowls that are faithful to the awards and Koransha designs of the time.
