Three Centuries of Clay and Flame, Carrying Forward the Scenery of Tsuboya
For over 300 years, the tradition of pottery has lived on in Tsuboya, Okinawa. With a wish to carry this timeless craft into the future, we work hand in hand with a community of about 20 artisans. From carved lines and uniquely blended glazes to the bold yet delicate forms of guardian lions, each piece reflects the rich techniques rooted in Tsuboya’s soil. While honoring these traditions, we continue to explore new expressions—bringing the quiet strength and warmth of this handmade craft into the rhythm of modern life.
