The history of Noritake goes hand in hand with the history of Japan’s history of western tableware. Experience Noritake’s early days through the red brick buildings built in the Meiji era.
 
This red brick factory building marks the origins of Noritake as a modern ceramics manufacturer and is where the company leaped onto the world stage.
 
Morimura-gumi, the trading company established by Ichizaemon Morimura, built Nippon Toki Gomei Kaisha as its first factory in 1904 in order to manufacture pottery. This red brick factory building, operated until 1975, exudes a charming atmosphere, and is without a doubt symbolic of Japan’s western tableware history. Feel free to walk around and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the time.
 
Noritake is a leading company in the ceramics industry with a history of more than 100 years. The Noritake Garden (Noritake no Mori) was built on the company's former factory grounds and introduces the company and its products while providing a recreational space in the middle of Nagoya.
 
In the Craft Center, visitors can observe the delicate creation process of porcelain, or try it themselves in a workshop. There is also a museum exhibiting exceptional, old Noritake pieces, such as vases, jars and dishes from the early 1900s.
 
In the Craft Center Noritake Museum, you can take a look at the diverse ceramics products produced by Noritake throughout history, which are not only limited to tableware, but also include various industrial products, electronics and cutting edge technologies.
 
Several stores and a few restaurants are also located in the Noritake Garden.

1904年,以一個晚餐盤子為起點開始了武的歷史。自此以來,人們在這裡秉持著不變的理念,不斷地創作出豐富人們心靈的餐具。為了紀念株式會社則武創業100週年,2001年年10月5日在近代陶業發祥地-Noritake總公司佔地內開設了以陶瓷器為主題的綜合設施“則武的森林”。
“則武的森林”位於日本愛知縣名古屋市中心地區約48000平方米的廣闊場地內,設有與文化相會的“文化區”,享受生活的“商業區”,以及感受歷史的“歷史區”等三大區域,整片地區環繞在濃厚的綠色環境中。通過本項事業,武致力於促進產業觀光並改善城詩環境,以微薄之力,努力為地區社會做貢獻並以實際行動來表達感謝之情。
迄今為止,從今往後,則武一直著眼於廣闊的生活文化,和大家一起為創造真正豐富多彩的生活而努力。請盡情感受在這片土地上孕育而成的則武的技術,傳統,藝術的精華,以及悸動的嶄新夢想。
