The Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka, as its name suggests, is a museum dedicated to collecting, exhibiting, and researching oriental ceramics. The strength of Chinese ceramics in the museum’s collection lies in the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, exactly the period during which ceramic art enjoyed its most brilliant successes as it grew to full maturity.
