In collaboration with the Gallery Maesaka Seitendo and Tasaburo, two well-known antique art dealers in Tokyo, art items representing the Ko Imari style of porcelain will be displayed and available for sale. Also, space producer and Japan Party Planner Association Chairman Yoko Maruyama will create special dinner table settings using Ko Imari style porcelain dishes for the enjoyment of exhibition participants.

Special meals using Arita porcelain items will be served at nine of our hotel’s restaurants and lounge. In addition, we will prepare a special Japanese breakfast served on Arita porcelain dishes limited to 20 guests using our Club Floor “Premier Grand”. We endeavor to provide overseas visitors to our hotel with a taste of “Japanese hospitality” through our thoughtfully prepared Japanese style breakfasts created by our Executive Chef Hiroshi Ichikawa in collaboration with the food specialist Mackey Makimoto.

This year’s Arita and Imari Porcelain Exhibition marks the 37^th year to be hosted, and is designed to show how this traditional art form is used in Japanese lifestyles. Furthermore, this event is part of the Keio Plaza Hotel’s program of Japanese cultural experience events, which are designed to satisfy the growing interest in Japanese culture of our overseas guests, whom account for over 75% of our total guest numbers.
