Tominaga Genroku 富永源六
1859-1920
male
Arita porcelain
Nabeshima porcelain
He was born as the eldest son of the kiln owner Tominaga Seibei and succeeded the family business in Meiji 22 (1889). He constructed a new kiln and repeated research and improvements to create his own style that combined a high-quality base that is on the same level as Arita ware with the inked outlines for the underglaze used in Nabeshima ware.
Furthermore, the characteristic works that incorporate Art Nouveau elements represented Saga Prefecture during the 4th National Industrial Exhibition in Meiji 28 (1895) and won 2nd place at the Arita 52 Competitive Exhibition during the following year. His refined designs became popular, and there were even copies of his works from the middle of the Meiji era to the late Meiji era.
In Meiji 22 (1889), he became the mayor of Ureshino Village, and in Meiji 32 (1899), he became a prefectural assembly member.
