And there, I finally found the museum! How could I have waited so long!
Close to the Engaku-ji temple stands this beautiful old farmhouse, transferred by the owner from the Fukui Prefecture, north of Kyoto. Actually, they are 3 combined farmhouses and were built around 1850 at the end of the Edo period.

Passing through the entrance gate I walked into the yard. It took my breath away, so quiet.

I just have to show you all the pictures from the inside of all the art. It is really astounding!

Samurai outfit and duck painting on a sliding door.

Beautiful wild flower painting.

Some flower wood carving. It may have been a decoration above a door or gate.

And then the pottery. Kamakura doesn’t have any clay deposits. So, originally there were no potters. They imported the vessels mainly from Echizen from which they also transferred the farmhouse. Echizen is unglazed, high fired ware. You see the flaming of the fire and the ash drippings on the pots.

Almost all the vessels in the museum are from the 13th-14th and 15th century.

Dishes and bottles. Some are ash glazed.

Those storage vessels are probably from the Tamba kiln site located in Hyogo Prefecture near Kyoto.

Found shards in Kamakura.

End last but not least, the attic. Look at those big beams to support the roof and in the winter the heavy snow. And then those large storage vessels again. All very impressive.
I have to tell though that my father was an historian and the curator of the Open Air Museum in the Netherlands. He collected and transferred farmhouses important for the Dutch history into the museum and saved them for future generations.
