Museum of Furuta Oribe

The Museum of Furuta Oribe features original tea scoops, vases, and personal letters from the influential tea ceremony master Furuta Oribe.

The museum opened in 2014 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of Furuta Oribe, who led tea ceremonies during the Azuchi-Momoyama period.

The collection includes distinctive tea bowls known as Hyogemono, which demonstrate Furuta Oribe's appreciation for unconventional and asymmetrical ceramic forms.

Located three minutes from Kitayama Station exit 4, the museum operates from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM and charges 500 yen for adult admission.

The museum organizes three special exhibitions annually, focusing on different aspects of Furuta Oribe's legacy and his connections to powerful figures like Oda Nobunaga.
