About the Project

Overview The Saga Prefecture Ceramic Museum is located in Arita, the birthplace of Japanese porcelain, a town of pottery that continues to evolve to meet the needs of the times. Aiming to become a world-class cultural Tourism hub, the museum has renovated its permanent exhibition room to display the "History of Arita Ware."
You can experience Arita ware by walking through seven rooms that trace the history of the ware: "The Birth of Japanese Porcelain," "Technical Innovation," "The Perfection of Japanese Porcelain," "Crossing the Sea," "Coloring Our Lives," "The Dawn of a New Era," and "Now and the Future."
Issues/Themes The permanent exhibition will be revamped to convey the historical background, value, and appeal of world-renowned Arita ware to first-time visitors and foreigners, and the area will be redeveloped as a cultural Tourism hub that will revitalize the production area.
Space Solution/Realization The exhibition is structured around seven rooms that extract the characteristics and background of each era and sublimate them into spatial design, allowing even those with no knowledge of history to intuitively grasp the story of Arita ware over the past 400 years. In addition, there are four thematic exhibits that convey the value of Arita ware from four different perspectives across the ages, and the exhibition is designed to invite visitors to use the exhibition as a base for Tourism in the production area.
Design for Environment Universal design: The height of the exhibits is set with wheelchair access in mind, and in keeping with the museum's role as a cultural Tourism hub, even the captions are provided in both Japanese and English.
Cultural property Preservation Planning: We designed the exhibits with consideration for safety when changing exhibits, as well as fixing methods to prevent damage.
