Kutani originated from the Kutani Village in 1655 and the Arita Village in the Hizen province became the location where students learned the craft of creating Kutani ware porcelain.

And today highly skilled craftsmen produce Kutani porcelain products today using the original traditions developed in 1655.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutani_ware
