The Kyocera Museum of Fine Ceramics

The Kyocera Museum of Fine Ceramics

As part of our cultural activities, The Kyocera Museum of Fine Ceramics, located on the second floor of our global headquarters' building, was opened to the public in October 1998. The museum showcases the growth of Kyocera's fine ceramic technology since the company's founding in 1959. It is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of fine ceramics, not only for students and researchers, but for people of all ages. In the showroom, you can also learn about the history of Kyocera's business development and see our latest products in a wide range of fields.

Products for Global Environmental Protection
Kyocera has developed many products that use solar energy and fine ceramic technologies to promote environmental protection. This exhibit features a prototype solar car and an energy monitor showing in real time the amount of electricity supplied by the solar power generating system at Kyocera's global headquarters.
Fine Ceramic Technology: The Fundamentals
Do you know the difference between ceramics and fine ceramics? This section explains the basics of fine ceramics, including the fundamentals of ceramic materials and processing technologies. An adjoining display shows the history of ceramic products; from the earthenware of Japan's Jyomon period through the various basic ceramics handed down throughout history, up to the emergence of today's fine ceramics.
The Evolution of Fine Ceramic Technology
A variety of products developed by Kyocera are displayed chronologically from the company's founding in 1959. The changes in fine ceramic technology are explained by showing actual Kyocera components; the finished products that incorporate them; and a chronological guide illustrating the background of the time in history.
Experiencing Fine Ceramics
What are fine ceramics? Visitors can experience fine ceramics through our virtual experiments and picture displays, including a model that makes it easy to understand the manufacturing process of fine ceramics. Visitors can also see patterned carvings excavated from ancient China and a display introducing other highly artistic ceramic pieces.
