This is a museum specializing in ceramics.
I went there to kill some time, but it's a very nice museum. I thought it would be very empty since it only sells ceramics, but it seemed to be popular with people who were interested and was quite busy. It seems that a curator's tour was also planned, and there were about 20 participants.
The exhibition space is located on the 1st to 5th floors, and you can take the elevator up to the top floor and go down the stairs while looking at the exhibits, but you can go back and forth freely, so you can view as many times as you like from the floor that interests you.
It was a museum that I wanted to come back to, as I was able to see a variety of crafts related to Nagoya, such as Noritake, as well as Seto ware and Banko ware.

I visited on a trip to Nagoya.
It was great! It's a highly recommended spot for those who come to Nagoya (especially for those who like art and handicrafts). You can enjoy the splendor of Japanese ceramics that were mainly exported overseas during the Meiji and Taisho periods. Luxury items, items of exquisite craftsmanship, etc....You can feel extremely luxurious while viewing them.
Nearby is the Yamazaki Mazak Museum of Art, and a little further away are the Tokugawa Art Museum and the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art...How about visiting art museums?

The Old Noritake ✕ Noritake World exhibition was on display until today, and I went to the Yokoyama Museum of Art for the first time.
The next special exhibition will be held on July 7th at Kinkozan and Obiyama.
It is located between Shinei Station and Takatake Subway Station, and can be walked from either station.
Inside the building, there is a reception on the first floor, permanent exhibitions on the second floor, and special exhibitions on the third and fourth floors. The valuable exhibits that were collected after buying back ceramics that had been exported overseas were delicate and beautiful.
Photos can also be taken without flash.

This is an art museum specializing in Meiji and Taisho ceramics.
The nearest stations are Shineicho Station on the Higashiyama Line or Takatake Station on the Sakuradori Line. Conveniently located near the city center.
Old Noritake is also gorgeous and beautiful, but personally, I'm paying attention to the high relief carvings by Kozan Miyagawa ❨1st generation, which has recently become popular as a transcendent technique from the Meiji period.
You are allowed to take photos, so if you take a good look at it while taking photos, an hour will not be enough time. It takes about an hour and a half.

2022/8 I visited around 2pm during the Obon holiday, but it wasn't crowded and I was able to enjoy the view at my leisure.
The museum displays exported ceramics produced during the Meiji and Taisho eras, with a focus on returned homeware, and many ceramics, including Old Noritake, are on permanent display. On that day, the Norman Rockwell exhibition was being held as a special exhibition, so the admission fee was 1,000 yen.
I took the elevator up and looked at the special exhibition on the upper floor, and I enjoyed looking at the many novelty Seto ceramic figurines and dolls by Norman Rockwell.
The permanent exhibition is simply amazing. In particular, the gorgeous and flowery designs, which are apparently called ``Nagoya-etsu'', were enjoyable to admire even though I had no knowledge of ceramics, and I felt a little satisfied.
I recommend visiting the museum in conjunction with the nearby Yamazaki Mazak Museum (mainly focused on French paintings).
