    以前は岐阜駅前からバスを利用していたが今回は西岐阜駅から歩いてみた。大通りを左に１５分進むと美術館の真ん前に出る。館内では企画展はなく地元有志の写真展と同じく地元出身の書家「篠田桃江」の作品が展示されていた。これまでは「ルドン」目的で訪館していたが今回は「桃江」１４点の作品観たさに来館した。三越本店で桃江作品と出会い以来長野上田美術館・岡山高梁美術館と彼女の展覧会の追っかけをしてきた。正直展示数１...

    Gifu Pref. Tajimishi Higashimachi 4-2-5 Within the ceramic park MINO
    This public museum operated by Gifu Prefecture specializes in modern ceramic art. It features a collection of Japanese and international ceramics dating to as early as the 19th century. It is located in Ceramic Park MINO, designed by the architect Arata Isozaki. Ceramic even finds its way into places like the ceiling and outer walls. They put effort into art education and frequently hold a variety of workshops mainly dealing with ceramics. They also hold gallery talks by curators as well as unique regular planned exhibits.

    陶都多治見のセラミックパークMINO内にある美術館です。世界の近現代の陶芸アートが見られ、また1〜2ヶ月サイクルで企画展も入れ替わるようなので良いと思います。建物自体もセンスが感じられますし、年に何度か訪れたいと思います。

    Gifu Pref. Minoshi Motozumichou 1901-3
    This art gallery is located a 15-minute walk from Nagaragawa Railway Minoshi Station, and exhibits the Mino City’s prize-winning autumn “Mino Washi Akari Art Exhibit.” Inside the gallery, a town with udatsu walls (good for fire protection and symbolizing wealth) is reproduced in a soft and warm light through Mino washi (traditional Japanese paper). Although the work cannot be touched, you are free to take photographs. There is also a museum shop lined with highly artistic lanterns. The wooden two-stories building is a nationally registered tangible cultural property since it is a valuable structure that is as it was in the early Showa era (1926-1989).

    A MUST when in Mino. It is very beautiful. An exhibition of many lanterns and paper craft. It was my second visit here.

    Gifu Pref. Enashi Oichou 176-1
    Located only a three-minute walk south of JR Ena Station, this museum houses works of the world-famous ukiyo-e artist, Utagawa Hiroshige. Most of the collection consists of woodblock print ukiyo-e such as “The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaido” of his mature period, and the exhibits change nearly every month. In the Ukiyo-e Navi Room, a permanent installation, visitors can learn all about woodblock prints in an enjoyable way. An especially popular feature is the “Make Your Own Woodblock Print” corner, where visitors can use fake plates and apply layers of stamp ink to make their own woodblock print to take home.

    Really cool museum! Three blocks from Ena train station. Inexpensive entrance fee. The historic woodcut prints on display are both beautiful and intriguing. BUT WAIT, theres more, lots more. You...

    Gifu Ogaki-shi Kuruwamachi 2-12
    "This art museum is located a ten-minute walk from Ogaki Station's South Exit. It exhibits works and materials of the Japanese artist Tadashi Moriya, praised in his hometown as an honorary citizen of Ogaki and a recipient of the Order of Cultural Merit. ""The Melody of Rokudan Sounds in Vienna: Brahms and Countess Toda"" is his masterpiece from his prime with the theme of international exchange. It is a historical painting that depicts an encounter between east and west, with the decoration of a koto and smoke from an incense burner to the patterns of chairs and carpets that were popular at the time. This work and other difficult-to-preserve Japanese paintings are not on permanent display, but about 3,300 works are rotated and displayed every two months."

At the Museum Shop, you can purchase Minotosui (sake and ceramic sets), choice sake, and fine quality sweets. There’s also a restaurant serving pizza from their stone oven.

    This private museum centered on tea ceremony items is located a 20-minute walk from Nagara Railway’s Gujo-Hachiman Station in Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture. It exhibits countless family treasures such as the tea bowl “Ayase” and incense container “Koshi Zakuro” that have been appraised, and were collected over 270 years by the heads of the Saito family, who had deep relationships with the feudal lord of Gujo.

    An art museum located a five minute walk from Hida-Furukawa Station on the Takayama Main Line.
