Mino Washi Akari Art Museum
Mino City has long thrived as a major washi paper-making region. Every year, the Mino Washi Akari Art Exhibition is held in the nationally designated Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, Udatsu no Agaru Machinami, in the heart of the city, where glowing objects made from Mino washi are displayed. At the Mino Washi Akari Art Museum, you can enjoy the atmosphere of this fall event year-round.
All the lights on display are made with washi paper. Each one is delicate, soft, and warm, and the way the light glows is seriously beautiful.
The moment you walk in, it feels quiet and relaxing—and it’s super photogenic too. You can see the fine handcraft details and really feel the beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
It’s not a big place, but it has great quality. If you like art or that artsy/literary vibe, you’ll love it!
