山中うるし座
The museum exhibits are secondary. The main event is the adjacent training institute, Japan’s only school dedicated to woodturning. Here, visitors can watch apprentices and masters at work in the studios. The on-site shop has the finished lacquerware for purchase afterwards. Note the Wednesday closure.
