Overview

The Hyogo Ceramic Art Museum, located in Tamba-Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture, is dedicated to the art of ceramics. Established at the foot of Kokuzouzan Mountain, adjacent to the Tatakugi Pottery Village, its purpose is to preserve and promote Hyogo's ceramic culture, dating back to the Heian period. Situated in the "Tamba Tatakugi" area, the largest pottery production site of Tanba-yaki, one of Japan's six ancient kilns, the museum primarily showcases Hyogo-produced ceramics, including Tanba-yaki, Awaji Minpei-yaki, Himeji Higashiyama-yaki, Toyooka Izushi-yaki, Sanda Sanda-yaki, and Sasayama Ouchiyaman-yaki, spanning from ancient to modern pieces. The collection's core consists of ceramics purchased and donated from the Hyogo Ceramic Art Hall, originally part of the personal collection of its founder, Hiroshi Tanaka (President of Zendan Bus, 1904-1981). From the museum's observation deck, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Tamba-yaki village, with its numerous kilns, against the backdrop of Wada-dera Mountain. The museum also offers creative and educational programs such as pottery workshops and cultural lectures.
