Fukuoka Oriental Ceramics Museum

This museum displays about 400 ceramic pieces from China, Korea, and Japan through rotating exhibitions in a dedicated space. The collection includes bowls, vases, plates, and other objects that show the craftsmanship of these regions.

The museum was established in 1999 as a specialized institution for studying and displaying Asian ceramics. From its beginning, it focused on becoming a center for ceramic research and education in Fukuoka Prefecture.

The collection reveals how potters in China, Korea, and Japan developed distinct styles while influencing one another over time. Today visitors can observe the visible differences in shape, glaze, and craftsmanship that define each tradition.

The museum is located in the Nanakuma area and offers parking for visitors. Plan your visit for the morning hours when you can move through the galleries without crowds.

The museum features a dedicated screening room where films about traditional manufacturing techniques and historical ceramic processes are shown. This visual documentation helps visitors understand the craftsmanship visible in the displayed pieces.
