Ohi Museum

Ohi Museum, Ceramics museum in Hashiba-cho, Japan.

The Ohi Museum is a ceramics museum in Hashiba-chō that displays collections of traditional Japanese pottery across three exhibition rooms. Each room focuses on different periods and artists working in the Ohi tradition.

Ohi ceramics began in the 17th century when the first master potter established the tradition. The museum opened in 1990 to preserve this pottery heritage for future generations.

The museum displays works from successive generations of Ohi potters, showing how Japanese ceramic techniques have developed through different artists and their individual approaches. You can see the progression of styles and methods across the exhibition rooms.

The museum is within walking distance from Kanazawa Station and easy to reach. You can explore both permanent collections and changing exhibitions focused on ceramic art.

The building was designed by Kengo Kuma in 2014 using local materials like bamboo and Japanese paper. The contemporary design creates spaces that present traditional pottery in a modern way.
