Shida-Yaki Pottery Factory Museum, Ureshino, Saga

On Tuesday, we had decided to take a drive to the Yutoku-inari Jinja Shinto Shrine and Nagasaki. As usual, we bought some "Dog" Chinese New year goods at Min-min boutique shop in Nagasaki Chinatown.

Before going to Yutoku-inari Jinja, we went to the Shida-Yaki Pottery Factory Museum (志田焼の里博物館 Shida-yaki-no-sato Hakubutsukan) in Ureshino, Saga. This was started operation in the Taisho era, liveware such as a brazier was made until it was closed in 1984. It seems that the time has stopped in the retro factory. I don't know when it is now, but it just feels like a craftsman had done work until now. 

There is a pottery museum next to the factory. Here is exhibition and sales of the modern Arita ware on the first floor, the exhibition of contemporary artists' works on the second floor, and the old Shida pottery is on display on the third floor. There are not so many exhibits as I throught, but it is worth a visit.
