A special exhibition taking place at the Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum will explore pieces from the Wakabayashi collection, which is one of the best old Noritake collections in Japan. Old Noritake refers to ceramics manufactured, sold, and exported from the middle of the Meiji era to the Second World War timeframe by the Nagoya-based Noritake Company Limited. Around 250 pieces in total will be displayed at the event, including ceramic items and design drawings.
Adult admission to the exhibition is priced at 840 yen.
