Keisei Isogaya is a private museum specialized in Meiji Kutani. It is probably one of the largest by the number of pieces in stock, more than 1500. Unfortunately it is a little far from Tokyo and only opened on Sunday from 10:00 AM to 17:00 PM. The museum is also closed in winter.

However, since April 2004 the museum has been temporary closed to the public.

From April to November 2002 the museum offered a special exhibition of pieces produced by Kutani Shoza.

From April 6 to november 2003 the museum has shown a special exhibition on Akae kutani

He also participated in Kutani exhibition in Paris at the Japan cultural center in 1999
