One regular visitor to the museum is Eki-chan (えきちゃん), a tortoiseshell cat that spends her days amongst the precious antiques.

The space is seemingly frozen in time, with fixtures, fittings and furnishings left as they were when the potter lived here.
The museum rotates the pieces on display to reflect the changes of season, but almost all of Kanjirō's works here are on permanent display.
