Ishikawa Prefectural Museum for Traditional Products and Crafts

The museum was established in order to showcase the fine arts and crafts of Ishikawa, a Prefecture whose culture of fine arts and traditional crafts compares with that of Tokyo and Kyoto. The museum is accordingly managed as a regional oriented museum.

The collections vary from old, Ishikawa-related fine art works to modern Japanese art: paintings, oil paintings, sculptures, traditional arts and crafts whose artists have something to do with Ishikawa Prefecture.

The highlights of a visit have to be Japanese traditional arts and crafts works, including feudal Daimyo utensils using the Kaga Makie technique, a huge range of Kutani porcelain collection from Ko-kutani (Old Kutani) to Re-established Kutani, and works by numerous living national treasures.

These works are on display in our seven permanent exhibition halls.
