Tsuboya Pottery

The Okinawan pottery of Tsuboya

Tsuboya pottery originated in 1682 when three kilns, Chibana, Wakuta and Takaraguchi were combined and relocated to present-day Tsuboya. Products are classified into arayachi and jōyachi. The former consists mostly of unglazed and relatively large works while the latter is glazed and decorated with uniquely Okinawan patterns.
