Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum

Located in the historic pottery city of Seto, this expansive museum houses over 7,000 works spanning Japanese and world ceramic history. The collection ranges from prehistoric Jomon earthenware to Momoyama tea bowls and modern art ceramics. Set in a wooded hillside, the museum includes outdoor kilns, a hands-on pottery studio, and rotating exhibitions. Seto gave its name to 'setomono', the Japanese word for ceramics.
