Don't miss the huge mural, 3 m high and 44 m long, made of 1,400 Arita porcelain plates depicting the battle of Dannoura between Genji and Genji in 1185. This mural is part of the picture scrolls of the Akama Shrine in Shimonoseki City, and is one of the largest outdoor mural paintings on a ceramic board.
