Tokoname Tounomori, Ceramics museum in Tokoname, Japan
The Tokoname Tounomori museum exhibits a vast collection of traditional pottery artifacts across multiple exhibition spaces and includes a ceramics laboratory for hands-on learning.
Founded in 1961 by architect Sutemi Horiguchi, the museum stands as part of the Six Ancient Kilns heritage sites that shaped Japanese ceramics since the Jomon period.
The museum displays collections of Tokoname ware teapots, known for their reddish color and iron-rich clay that enhances the flavor of brewed tea.
Visitors can participate in pottery workshops, explore hidden ceramic sculptures in the forest paths, and examine current works from local artisans in nearby galleries.
The facility combines a training studio, exhibition halls, and forest walks where ceramic art pieces integrate with natural surroundings.
