Kurita Museum

#2024wish A ceramic museum located on the other side of the railroad tracks from Ashikaga Flower Park. We have a collection and display of the masterpieces of Imari and Nabeshima collected by the founder Hideo Kurita with all his soul. Speaking of Imari, there was only an image of a large plate, but in addition to the plates, various porcelain such as huge large pots and figurines are arranged here, and it is eye-catching. I feel that I can understand that these were loved by many people in Europe and other countries, such as their size and shape that show their overwhelming presence, and the gorgeous decoration by painting. In addition to the exhibition of famous items, the history of Imari and Nabeshima and painting techniques were also introduced in detail at the history museum, and it was an art museum with many discoveries. I think it's a place worth visiting even from a distance. The building on the premises is also quaint with a sense of formality, but the only regret is that the height difference is severe and it does not support barrier-free. The road to the main building after entering the reception is a pretty steep slope, and there is only stairs to move up and down in the facility, and there is no elevator. It seems difficult to watch in a wheelchair, etc. In addition, photography is prohibited except for a small part of the exhibition. I wish to travel more in 2024
