Hagi Uragami Museum, opened in 1996, was founded through the philanthropy of Toshiro Uragami (1926- 2020), a Hagi-born entrepreneur who generously contributed his extensive art collection, focused on ukiyo-e prints and East Asian ceramics. In 2010, an annex was added to promote the ceramic arts and crafts, specifically the 400 -year-old tradition of Hagi ware. Serving as a cultural hub, we have hosted diverse exhibitions, contributing to the aesthetic richness of Hagi, a town recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. By expanding our art initiatives further, we aim to encourage interaction among people, actively engaging the community, fostering local vibrancy. Moreover, by leveraging the awards highlighted in the Michelin Green Guide Japan, we strive to advance cultural tourism for visitors worldwide.
