Product Info
- Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Traditional Arts and Crafts -
Located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, right next to Kenrokuen Garden, this museum is the only facility in Japan that displays all 36 of Ishikawa Prefecture's traditional craft items. From the delicate and refined Kaga Yuzen silk and the brilliant, magnificent Kutani ware, to the elegant and sophisticated Yamanaka lacquerware and the world-renowned Wajima lacquerware, the museum features permanent exhibitions as well as special exhibitions that focus on the 'contemporary aspects' of traditional crafts. Every Saturday and Sunday, artisans are invited to demonstrate their production processes on-site, and a variety of themed workshops are held, allowing visitors to witness, touch, and experience the charm of Japanese traditional crafts firsthand. The museum is located adjacent to Kenrokuen Garden, making it an ideal stop to include in your Kanazawa sightseeing itinerary.
Step into the first exhibition hall and explore kimonos, tableware, tea utensils, and home crafts under the three themes of "clothing, food, and living." From clothing and dining to living spaces, experience the exquisite beauty of Ishikawa's traditional crafts integrated into daily life.
Admire the Golden Temple, a replica of Hideyoshi's "Daigo Hanami Screen Painting," where the warm luster of gold leaf and vermilion felt complement each other, and the subtle light filtering through the extremely thin silk creates a mysterious realm recreated after 420 years.
Every Saturday and Sunday, traditional craftsmen are invited to the on-site demonstration area. From 10:00 to 15:00 (including lunch break), visitors can observe the exquisite techniques of Kaga Yuzen and Wajima lacquerware processes up close.
