Toguri Museum of Art

Collection of Toguri Museum of Art is focused on Oriental porcelain, especially Japanese, Chinese and Korean porcelains.

The first porcelain in Japan started in Arita region in Saga prefecture in the 1610s.
Since it was shipped through the port of Imari, it became to be called Imari ware.

Collection of Chinese porcelain covers products from BC through Qing Dynasty (1644-1912).

Between 1592 and 1598, during Hideyoshi Toyotomi's campaign in Korea, some ceramicists were brought back and settled in Japan to start making porcelain in Japan.
