    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. 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...

    岐阜県多治見市の南端、市之倉は盃の一大産地。 市之倉さかづき美術館では、地元産を中心に、江戸末期から昭和の盃を、展示している。 岐阜と愛知の県境にある、市之倉地区。 陶器の町として1000年以上の歴史を持つ、山間の小さな集落だ。 長閑な集落ではあるが、特に昔は、交通の便が悪いのが難点。 そこで、運びやすい盃や煎茶器の産地となったそう。 1804年に、磁器を焼くことが許可されると、従来の本業焼だけ...
