Kagamino
Trip

The Fairywood Glass Museum, built in 2006 by Kagamino Town, to the rare art of uranium glass. Uranium was used by both Japan and western nations as a glass colorant between the 19th and the 20th centuries. The glass made at this museum uses uranium from the nearby Ningyo Pass, and was named "Fairywood Glass" because of how it fluoresces green in the presence of UV light. Although a small museum, we house an exhibition of both uranium glass works from around the world and contemporary glass works, a glass workshop offering glass experiences, and an art shop which sells glass items. Please enjoy the mysterious glow of the glass.
