Recent research has revealed that this type of porcelain, known in Japan as gosu akae ("porcelain in cobalt blue and polychrome overglaze enamels"), was produced by kilns in Fujian Province, China. A significant amount of gosu akae was imported to Japan in the 17th century, and archaeological excavations in cities such as Kyoto, Osaka, and Sakai have turned up numerous examples of similar ware.
