Kyushu Ceramic Museum in Arita
The Mr. and Mrs. Shibata Collection is particularly popular.
It has systematically gathered Arita ware from throughout the Edo Period.
The Kanbara Collection is also is popular. It brings together Arita ware that was exported to Europe during the Edo Period.
We can compare with Arita cermic in Europea(The Kanbara Collection) and in Japan(The Mr. and Mrs. Shibata Collection) during the Edo Period.
Arita cermic in Japan(The Mr. and Mrs. Shibata Collection) has Wabi and sabi sense of beauty. Its more simple and lacking embellishment than Arita cermic in Europe. I prefer The Mr. and Mrs. Shibata Collection.
About Kyushu Ceramic Museum
