Title A Potter Jiro Kinjo
Japanese Title Kinjo Jiro Zoki no Bi
Publication Year

Kinjo Jiro acquired traditional techniques of Tuboya Yaki and was recognised one of the great potters in Okinawa.
In 1985,he was designated a Living National Treasure and his works has been highly appreciated.
People say that many Japanese potters read this book including his great works throughly.

Hamada Shoji first met Kinjo Joro in 1924.Hamada was 30 years old and Kinji was still 13 years old at that time.
Hamada often has visited Okinawa and worked at Tusboya Kobo since 1918.
Kinjo watched Hamada make pottery at close range.
So it is natural that Hamada had a great influence on Kinjo's works.

Kinjo began pottery at the age of 13. At age 26, Mingei philosopher Yanagi Soetsu and potter Hamada Shoji "discovered" Kinjo upon their visit to Okinawa, and felt great mutuality between his works and the ideals they were expounding at the time. Kinjo excelled at glazing, eching, hakeme (white slip brush strokes) and the potter's wheel, and was designated an IICP holder in 1985. Kinjo was a humble and quiet man, who resented being called "sensei," always thought of himself as a craftsman, not an artist. This utmost humility lives on in his work.
