Mino Ceramic Art Museum, Tajimi

3.5

This museum gives you the chance to see, learn about, and experience the history and current state of Mino-yaki Pottery. You can reach it in about 20 minutes from JR Tajimi Station by taking the Kikyo Bus and getting off at the Mino-yaki Museum Mae bus stop. It displays the work of leading Mino potters and tells the roughly 1,300-year history of Mino-yaki Pottery. Pick up a pot shard and you'll feel the pottery's weight and texture and get a good look at the thickness of the glaze and the clay. You can also have local sweets and sip matcha tea from a cup made by one of Mino's leading potters and a living national treasure.

美濃焼の自由研究ならココ！

Reviewed : 2020.07.30

常設展に見る美濃焼の歴史は本当に何度見ても「ほ-っ」となります。人間国宝の器が、日展作家や陶芸展大賞受賞作家が手掛けた器の数々は目を見張る。一回りしたら、是非茶室へ。お好きな作家の器で一服どうぞ。
立地が悪めだけど美濃焼に興味のある方は必見の施設

美濃焼の歴史をじっくり楽しみながら学べました。ちょっと展示物の数が欲しい感じがしました。売店も品数があまり多くないので良いものがあれば買うつもりだったのに残念。
陶器祭り

陶器祭りが開催された際に、立ち寄りました。遠方から泊まりでくるほど人気で、路が封鎖されてしまうほどです。美濃焼団地一帯を陶器の出店が埋め尽くします。お気に入りのお茶碗などを見つけられると思います。
