Sekisui Museum

Sekisui Museum is an art museum in Tsu housing collections of tea utensils, paintings, books, and historical materials from Ise Province merchants. The galleries display works and documents that reflect the region's commercial and artistic heritage.

The institution was founded in 1930 as Sekisui Kaikan and gained official museum registration in 1975. By 2010 it became a public interest foundation, solidifying its role as a public institution.

The museum displays works by potter Kawakita Handeishi and preserves traditional Japanese ceramic craftsmanship. Visitors can observe the handmade techniques reflected in the exhibited pieces.

The museum sits within a forested area on Mount Chitose and operates by appointment. Visitors should plan ahead since the secluded location requires careful travel arrangements.

The building relocated to the mountain in 2011 and blends modern architecture with spaces for ceramic studies. This combination of contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship makes the location remarkable.
