Noritake and ranks among the most famous china manufacturers in the world, and has been producing a bulk of the country's chinaware since 1904. Noritake stands out among the rest in its mastery of designs. Each of their crockery is an exquisite display of color and design. The Nagoya Noritake Garden holds up the journey of this celebrated manufacturer, as it exhibits the best works and allows its visitors to test their own skills in pottery. The Noritake Garden is an authentic site for savoring the expertise of Noritake, an authority when it comes to tableware. The garden includes in its premises a number of departments to provide its visitors a complete impression of the making and diversity of Noritake.
The cultural zone of the garden is a fascinating display of the changing trends of ceramic art. The exhibition arena displays wonderful pieces of tableware produced by leading international manufactures. A workshop housed in the grounds teaches the basic skills of pottery and ceramic painting. The visitors here can take home pieces of their own creation as they hand paint plates and cups and learn to bake them as well. Another area in the Garden is the site for recounting the history of Noritake. The museum traces the growth of western tableware in Japan, and the 'Old Noritake' section preserves the oldest pieces of ceramics manufactured by the organization. There is also a separate commercial complex in the Noritake Garden to supply the visitors with exclusive pieces of Noritake crockery. Two shops offer a wide range of collection, and cheaper versions of the original pieces are also available to cater to the lower budgets. There is also a restaurant serving delicious food in delicate Noritake china.
