What a history lover's paradise this place was! It was filled with beautiful potteries that are locally made. There are so many beautiful and functional furniture that the founder of this museum actually used. Made me think how well/strong things used to be made. There was a history of Mingei movement exhibited at the 2nd floor and I have learned that many artists acted together to preserve their variable local arts and history. The receptionist was so nice and knowledgeable about the exhibits and Mingei movement. She answered all of our questions. We totally recommend visiting here!

An excellent, elegant and simple museum showcasing 5,000 pieces of "folk art," which was collected by Shouya Yoshida to promote Mingei. In this museum extraordinary everyday objects, such as plates and neckties from the 1930s, are tastefully displayed. A great way to enjoy another era. You can even eat lunch at the restaurant next door, all while enjoying food served on beautiful hand made pieces of pottery. There is a reasonably priced gift shop next door too. It is a lovely way to spend a relaxing afternoon in a slow paced city.

The museum had a lovely selection of mingei pots, furniture, and a small sitting area with reference material. The second floor exhibit was from the collection and focused on folk artwork from overseas and not just Japan. Somehow I thought the museum would be larger, but it really does not take long to go through even if you are using Google translate to Read all the labels. Be sure to stop into the store and Cafe in the same building complex.

日常生活に必要な工芸品の中に工芸美を見出だし心豊かに実際に使用しながら価値を産み出す。単なる飾って置くたけでなく実際に使用する中に本来の美を見い出す運動を「民芸運動」。 「鳥取民芸美術館」は民芸運動の指導者 吉田璋也(しょうや)が商家の土蔵を使い生涯をかけて収集した5千点にのぼる民芸品を収納展示、昭和37年(1962年)に鉄筋コンクリートに改造し「財団法人鳥取民芸美術館」になりました。 全て吉田璋也による設計とプロデゥースによる運営で開始されました。いわば鳥取県の民芸運動発信の中心拠点です。いや日本のかな！。 また職人、工人の製作の工芸品の販路拡大に(たくみ工芸店)が昭和7年から創業し現在は美術館の隣にお店を構えて文化財保護への功績も多く今後も益々着実に前進です。

展示品が歴史感があります。この古い写真が大好きです。 吉田さんのデザインは、日本、中国、西洋のスタイルを組み合わせており、比較文化に興味のある人は見逃せません。 館員さんはとても親切で、多くのことを学びました。隣の無名地蔵も是非見て！ 展品非常有历史感。喜欢这种老照片。吉田先生的设计结合了日本，中国和西方的风格，如果对比较文化有兴趣的人一定不要错过了。然后馆员非常的亲切，从她那儿学到很多知识。旁边的无名地藏一定要看，心情非常沉重，建筑非常漂亮。

民藝三棟 :鳥取民藝美術館、たくみ工芸店、たくみ割烹。 都是由吉田璋也醫師（1898-1972）所設計，受到當時民藝運動人物柳宗理之父柳宗悦(やなぎむねよし)影響，開始將民藝運用在建築上，運用土藏造建築工法用厚土覆蓋表面的防火結構。 藏有鳥取市出身醫師，昭和初期民藝運動家吉田璋也長年收集的民藝品及家具，展示山陰地帶為起源，日本各地及世界約5000件的陶磁器、織物等工藝品。
