Not much

Museum is too much of a word for this very small collection. Only a few items have an English explanation to them. The shop has more to see but prices are extravagant.
有田焼の最高ブランド

有田焼の有名窯元で一度は行ってみたかったので今回訪問させてもらいました。店内の内外装も雰囲気も良く上品なオーラがありましたが商品も素人がみてもわかるくらい高そうで高級な感じがしました。

２度目の訪問！！当時最安値の３万の茶碗が3.8万に、、、筑後生まれの初代柿右衛門には、親しみを覚えるかなぁ、、作品の素晴らしさ、色使いの素晴らしさはレジェンド柿右衛門ですねぇ
