Introduction about the Okayama Kitchoan Museum
The Okayama Kitchoan Museum is located near Okayama station and is designed with a warmhearted, Japanese-styled modern interior. We showcase Bizen ware, a special product in Okayama, as a permanent exhibit. You may enjoy Bizen ware with its primitive and profound appeal. We also hold elaborate special exhibitions throughout the year.
2nd floor exhibition room
On the second floor, we hold a special exhibition from our arts and crafts collection including pottery and ceramics, lacquers and dolls. We arranged a room for tea ceremony at the end of the room, displayed with tea utensils and plates.
- Attention: in some exhibits, the tea ceremony display may not be shown.
3rd floor exhibition room
On the third floor, we display Bizen ware, a special product in Okayama and one of the six oldest types of pottery in Japan. We introduce various aspects of Bizen ware through its history, highlights and potters who were recognized as living national treasures.
Original Products
On the first floor, we have our original museum postcards, clear files and writing paper, all of which were designed with motifs of works made by Kitaoji Rosanjin and Miyagawa Kozan. Pictorial records are also for sale. Please feel free to stop at the shop when you visit the museum.
