- Established in 1990, the museum features a permanent collection of 20 works (including 5 from private collections) by Shigeru Aoki (1882-1911), a genius painter born in Kyushu who died prematurely at the age of 28 years and 8 months, as well as a well-balanced and diverse collection of oriental art, western art, and special exhibition rooms. Special exhibitions are held twice a year.
Saga Areas
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.
