The 10 Best Shopping in Nishimatsura-gun, Kyushu

There is a gallery KADEN in the corner of ceramic village away from the bustle. In Meiji period, Meiji Imari porcelain which is exported from Arita to Europe and America so many has fascinated the world and they influenced many artists with great achievement. After many years, an owner of gallery kaden found them to let them come home. They are now spreaded in some museum in Japan. We also have some collection of wonderful Meiji Imari's antiques with an exhibition and sale. In addition, nowadays making porcelain as they did in Meiji period, we found it extremely difficult, but we believe we have to continue their skills in traditional way so that we hopefully can remain Arita porcelain as they did with excellent work. We open CAFE twice a year ; Utan Festival ( November 1 to 3 ) and Arita Porcelain Festival ( April 29 to May 5) You can enjoy a handmade Gateau au Chocolat and hand drip coffee in relax salon. When you come, please make sure to call us. In case of closing day. We have some lesson classes or events. Thank you.
