Mikawachi Ceramics Museum / Mikawachi Ware Traditional Industry Hall
Outstanding Mikawachi works, old and new, are displayed under one roof
Here visitors can appreciate both Mikawachi’s history and modern Mikawachi Ware, with an exhibition room showing pieces from every era from the 17th to the mid-20th centuries, alongside a space devoted to present-day pottery studios. As well as the jars, platters and vases one would expect, there are fragments from the era of pre-porcelaneous pottery, Edo period (1603- 1868) tea ware and hand-crafted ornaments, and very unusual works decorated with overglaze enamels not found elsewhere.
There is also an area for visitors to try painting on pottery and carving openwork.
