An exhibition of posthumous works by Yu Ichinomiya, a potter who made pottery in Okinawa for nearly 50 years and passed away while being missed in December 2021.
Ichinomiya was born in Tokyo in 1936 and entered the path of ceramics from sculpture and terracotta. Fascinated by the red clay formed from Okinawa's nanban and coral, he moved in 1974. He made pottery in Okinawa City and Nanjo City, and was particular about the soil of Okinawa's characteristic red clay, such as Kucha, etc., to create unique works that are moist and fresh. This is the first retrospective exhibition that will be the culmination of Ichinomiya's own Nanban works that arrived while facing the soil of Okinawa.
