Kiyomizu Sannenzaka Museum
Handicraft museum
👍👍 The Kiyomizu Sannenzaka Museum is an art museum that permanently exhibits cloisonné, metalwork, maki-e, and Kyoto Satsuma. It's very small, but I thought it was a museum that Kyoto should have, as there was a thorough explanation of the art exhibits, the production process, and the materials used.I...
