Tsuboya Pottery
Tsuboya Pottery is a traditional ceramic art form from Okinawa, Japan, known for its unique style and vibrant colors. Originating in the late 17th century, it reflects the island's rich cultural heritage and influences from China and Southeast Asia. The pottery is characterized by its rustic appearance and often features natural motifs.
The production of Tsuboya Pottery involves handcrafting techniques, where artisans shape clay and apply glazes before firing. This process results in functional items like bowls and vases, as well as decorative pieces. Today, Tsuboya Pottery remains a significant part of Okinawa's artistic identity and attracts visitors interested in traditional crafts.
