    JR佐賀駅からバス1本で15分程のところにあります。佐賀城だった土地の中に建っているのですが囲んでいる堀がとても広い! 佐賀県立博物館の前の広場もとても広い! 贅沢な土地の使い方にふさわしく佐賀県立博物館自体もとても広い! こちらの都合で3Fの3号展示室にしかお伺いできなかったのですがそこだけでも54点もの展示数がありました。壁面にずらっと肥前刀が並んだ展示室の真ん中で実際に肥前刀を持ってみようと...

    有田焼の有名窯元で一度は行ってみたかったので今回訪問させてもらいました。 店内の内外装も雰囲気も良く上品なオーラがありましたが商品も素人がみてもわかるくらい高そうで高級な感じがしました。

    蔵を改造して展示場にしてあり、美術館自体に歴史を感じます。 有田の陶磁器産業の変遷がわかりやすく展示してあり、勉強になりました。 駐車場あり、入場料120円でお安いので、一度は立ち寄ってみるといいと思います。

    Saga Takeo Takeocho Takeo 4075-3

    御船山楽園に行く途中にあり、前を車で通っていて気になっていた施設です。慧洲園とこの美術館が併設のようになっていますが、入場料は別々になっていました。どちらのチケットも美術館入口で購入可能でした。美術館はあまり広くありません。中国磁器の展示をしていて、いいものを展示しているのだと思いました。個人的には特別展などを開催している時に、庭園と合わせてがいいのかなと感じました。駐車場は道路に沿って広くとって...

Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics. Rich in kaolin (a type of clay), Saga became the homeland of Arita ware, a delicate, decorative porcelain that is now celebrated worldwide and can be discovered in the towns of Arita, Imari, and Karatsu.
