The staff of Gallery are very friendly to guide the collection, and to give advice for shopping. They said this is the first exhibition of uranium glass in the gallery. Many uranium glasses made in Japan before world war-II are also exhibited.

I bought uranium glass shoes, with a price of 9000 yen +tax 5%, because the yellow color was so beautiful. In addition a dish with price of 1,000 was bought. The color of the dish is more like green, reflecting the fact of low content of uranium in the glass.
