Kurita Museum
Here, on the outskirts of Ashikaga, on 24.5 acres chosen for its picturesque scenery and taking advantage of nature, is a garden of mainly wild grass. In the garden is the main museum building, a historical building, a memorial church for unknown potters, and the pottery hall as well as the main gate, and the Holland Hall.
A large feature of the museum is that it displays only Imari and Nabeshima pottery wares of the Edo period created by the Nabeshima clan."
