Saga Pref. Nishimatsuragunaritachou Koubira 1-1-8

"Arita is the first place in Japan where porcelain was made. From the 17th century onward, Arita ware was an important product of what was once Saga-Nabeshima Domain and was extensively exported abroad, where it is known and loved as ""Imari ware,"" ""Ko-Imari,"" and ""Old Imari."" Fukagawa Seiji, a company which furthered global interest in Arita ware and which converted it into an art form, was founded in 1894 by Chuji Fukagawa, and Fukagawa erected Fukagawa Seiji's flagship store right here in Arita with the intent of welcoming customers from around the world. Even today, the structure retains a strong atmosphere redolent of the bygone Meiji and Taisho periods; the exterior of the building is covered in scratch tile, while the interior is decorated with floor mosaics and stained-glass windows. In the second-floor museum, visitors can view outstanding pieces crafted by Fukagawa Seiji bearing the distinct ""Meiji modern"" design style (advance reservation required). Today, the building and collection of the second-floor museum have received the Heritage of Industrial Modernization designation."

Saga Saga-shi Yamatocho Nao 4756

Nao washi paper is said to have begun with the introduction of papermaking to Nao Village by its headman Nodomi Yoshisuke in 1690. Typically, a mulberry species known as kozo is used to make Japanese paper, but Nao washi is made with kajinoki mulberry which grows naturally in the Nao area. As the fibers are long and intertwine more readily with each than kozo mulberry, even thin paper is quite durable. The studio holds tours where you can observe the papermaking process, as well as workshops. Reservations aren't required, but you might want to contact them in advance.

太宰府、吉野ヶ里と回るついでに訪問。和紙を加工してランプなどの工芸品にしたりいろいろと商品も多い。資料の展示もあり手漉きの体験もありました。時間がなくてできなかったのが残念。館内の窓にある肥前名尾和紙の障子を透いて手に当たる日の光の優しさは印象的でした。
