Arakawa Toyozō Museum‎

The Arakawa Toyozō Museum displays a collection of traditional Japanese ceramics, focusing on pottery techniques specific to the Mino region of Gifu Prefecture.

Established in 1984, the museum honors Toyozō Arakawa, who discovered ancient kiln ruins at Ogaya in 1930, leading to significant findings about Mino pottery production.

The museum collection presents works by Arakawa Toyozō, designated as a Living National Treasure in 1955 for his expertise in Shino and Setoguro pottery styles.

Located at 352 Kukurikakishitanyukai, the museum opens from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM with an entrance fee of 210 yen for adults, while students enter free.

The museum grounds include Arakawa's original workshop and a half-underground anagama kiln that limited production to small batches of ceramic pieces.
