CHORO-KAN, also known as SEKIYA Kohjin Ceramic Panel Museum for Peace, is located at MASHIKO Ceramic Art Village (10 minutes on foot from the center). It stands in a calm place surrounded by rice fields and forest near HAMADA Shoji’s MASHIKO SANKO-KAN. If you have an interest in ceramic art, we hope you visit and experience the world of Mr. SEKIYA Kohjin. We are sure you will find yourself thinking deeply about war, peace and life.

The renovated CHORO-KAN opened on 1 April 2015, by support groups in MASHIKO and TOKYO. Newsletters are published twice a year, and a DVD video (about 30 min) was made by NAGATA Seminar students of MUSASHI Univ. Three photo albums of his works were published and TOH (Mourning) compilation was published at the end of November 2016. Mr. SEKIYA Kohjin and his wife Ms. ISHIKAWA Itsuko joined the Japanese Citizens’ Network of Museum for Peace and attended a national conference at the Auschwitz Peace Museum (Shirakawa, FUKUSHIMA Pref.) on 29-30 October 2016．CHORO-KAN is presented in newsletter #17 of INMP (International Network of Museum for Peace) at the end of December 2016．
