Children's Pottery Museum

The Children's Pottery Museum in Tajimi is a ceramics museum designed for young visitors and features interactive exhibits about pottery techniques and clay working methods. The facility includes workshop spaces, learning areas, and exhibition halls where children take part in guided classes and creative projects.

The museum opened in October 2000 and preserves the pottery heritage of Tajimi, a region known for ceramic craftsmanship since the Edo period. This area has a long history of clay working that continues to be documented and shared through the museum.

The museum shows how pottery has been woven into local life for generations and remains an active part of the community today. Visitors observe how artisans pass down their knowledge and understand the role ceramics hold in Japanese culture.

The museum has areas where visitors can follow the entire ceramic production process, from clay preparation to firing in specialized demonstration zones. These spaces are designed for young visitors to learn step by step how ceramics are made.

The museum lets visitors watch local artists at work, offering an authentic look at the craft that has defined this region for centuries. These direct observations allow children to see the passion and skill that goes into each piece.
