A special exhibition, "Teacups and Teacup Bowls - Pottery Loved by the Japanese -" is being held at the Shiga Prefectural Ceramic Museum until June 25, 2023 (Sun.).
Teacup teacups are one of the familiar "yakimono" in Japanese daily life, and are used when you want to take a break with a cup of tea. These teacups, which are rich in regional characteristics and depict famous scenic spots and historic sites, were also treasured as souvenirs. ＜From the "Kyoitsu Sakaguchi Teacup Collection," we introduce "teacup teacups" that have been used as memories of travel, along with famous sweets and Omi's specialty teas from various regions. Enjoy the feeling of traveling!
