The History of Mikasa

      George Aratani was the founder of Mikasa, born in the United States to Japanese parents. George returned to Japan before WWII to attend Keio University in Tokyo. After studying abroad, George applied & was accepted to Stanford University. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor George was imprisoned in a Japanese internment camp for the duration of the war. Following his release, in 1948, George founded Mikasa. Before opening the Mikasa factory, George considered importing tuna into the United States. A friend suggested importing a nonperishable item. George visited Nagoya - a region in Japan known for the manufacture of beautiful Japanese China.  George started importing Fine China under the name Mikasa- Japanese for "three umbrellas".
