tsuboya pottery
Born to Aragaki Eitoku V of the pottery family who creates Ryukyu ware in Tsuboya, Naha, Okinawa, he was familiar with pottery from childhood and received guidance from Hamada Shoji and Kawai Kanjiro, who had come to observe the folk art movement in 1939.
After graduating from Taichung Normal School in Taiwan in 1941, he worked in an elementary school in Shimane Prefecture. After the war, he worked in his hometown’s Tsuboya Elementary School from 1947 to 1954.
Following this, he began to devote himself to pottery, and received high praise at a number of exhibitions, including the National Artists’ Association Exhibition Ceramics Club. He was said to be a leading figure in Okinawan folk art alongside Kinjo Jiro.
