Frommer's Review

Housed in a handsome Gothic-style brick building constructed in 1910 as headquarters of the Imperial Guard, this gallery exhibits contemporary crafts, including pottery, ceramics, kimono, metalwork, glassware, lacquerware, bambooware, and more; objects are typically changed seasonally. Most exhibitions concentrate on a specific theme such as bambooware or the works of a single artist, usually one noted for skill in traditional arts. Unfortunately, the exhibition space is very limited; you can tour the place in 30 minutes or less.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
