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.

Built at about the same time as the temples of the Dieng complex, Gedong Songo is one of the most beautifully sited temple complexes in Central Java and the views alone are worth the trip. Gedung Songo ('Nine Buildings') belong to the earliest antiquities of Java, they follow up the temples on the Dieng Plateau directly, for what about time. They were also built high in the mountains in an area full with volcanic activity; and they were also from Hinduist origin. But where the temples on Dieng Plateau are somewhat squeezed into a foggy valley, Gedung Songo are spread over the higher parts of the mountains, which guarantee a splendid view. On clear days, the horizon is one long row of volcanoes, from mount Lawu in the east, towards mount Sumbing, mount Sund...
