When you think of pottery, you may imagine vessels used as tools, such as everyday pottery and tea ware. However, in contemporary pottery, there is a perspective that sees the form of the vessel as a three-dimensional form rather than a purpose or function, and there are also objets d'art works that capture elements related to pottery, such as materials, techniques, and traditions, from a unique perspective. The founder of this museum, Kikuchi Satoshi (1923-2016), was fascinated by the diverse productions of individual artists, their unknown thoughts, and aesthetic sense, and he actively collected Japanese ceramic works from the late 20th century onwards. In 1983, he held an exhibition of his own collection, "Japanese Ceramics Today," at the Thomas M. Evans Gallery of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (Washington, USA). The exhibition, which mainly featured works by artists in their 40s and 50s at the time and introduced contemporary Japanese culture amid trade friction between Japan and the United States, was well received, and this experience became an opportunity for Kikuchi to focus on cultural projects.

There are so many people but very orderly, there is a wonderful spiritual experience like a fairy tale world in the passage to the castle, healing and happy. The project is limited in stimulation and suitable for children.

Однозначно маст хэв в Токио! В ясную погоду видно гору Фудзи. Рекомендую брать закатное время, так можно увидеть город при дневном и ночном освещении.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter

A must for Harry Potter fans! It could be a little tiring as the studio is hugee so best to allot your 1 day for it. It took us 4-5hrs to complete the tour. Out tour was packed, so I suggest searching for the best time and day. But nonethless, it&#39;s as if you&#39;re really in the magical world. 🥹

Went to the Tokyo Skytree during the Jujutsu Kaisen event collaboration and it was an experience for fans of the anime. Went there at night and it was even better, with the night sky view of almost 360deg surrounding the tower. There was also an aquarium housed in the tower and although it was considered on the smaller side, it was well worth the visit.
