Kanazawa

Ishikawa Prefetural Museum of Art

The museum is located in the city of Kanazawa, Ishikawa prefecture. Kanazawa was once a central capital castle town of Kaga province during the Edo period of Japan, and this region is rich in the history and the home of Kutani porcelain.

I visited the museum in November, 2024.
