If you want to learn more about one of the most well-known Japanese ceramic art styles, you can't miss the Saga Prefectural Kyushu Ceramic Museum🍶

Its main goal is to collect, preserve, and exhibit historically and artistically important materials related to ceramics from Hizen and other parts of Kyushu. They aim to preserve their cultural heritage and educate those interested in this art form.

You can learn about Kakiemon, a porcelain style form the 17th Century characterized by enamel decorations. Originally produced in Arita town, its techniques have been passed down through 15 generations. Also part of their collection are examples of Nabeshima ware, made between the 17th and 19th centuries, which was offered to the Sh**un.

In the museum, don't miss the Aritayaki Karakuri Music Box Clock with a huge dial that opens every 30 minutes, or the 25 Meissen porcelain bells.
