There are many baskets and pottery of Japan used for everyday life. Different from fine art,folk art doesn't looks special ,especially from the standpoint of local Japanese like us.So,we feel 700 yen is overpriced entrance fee,but may be good for foreign tourists which is coming to Japan for the first time.

The museum has a collection of beautiful stoneware pots, jugs and other pottery from contemporary potters and older. There are wooden family chests as well as bamboo and basket work. There was a traditional raffia raincoat which I had only previously seen in Hiroshige wood prints. The building itself is also interesting - strong wooden beams as it was previously a rice warehouse many centuries ago.
