無眼楽 岡本城峯の略歴　(Muganraku)

本名・岡本城峯は、盲目でありながら、驚くほど精巧な薄造りの手捻り技法を用い、繊細な細工を施した陶工である。

その経歴には諸説あり、もともとは犬山の陶工であったが、森有節のもとで働き、桑名へ移った後に失明したとも伝えられている。失明後は、手探りで造形を学び、独自の作陶技法を確立した。

また、鍛冶屋として働いていたが、仕事中の事故で失明し、その後、陶芸の道に進んだという説もある。

晩年にはこの地を離れ、東京へ移住。現存する作品は極めて少なく、その作品には「無眼楽（むがんらく）」の印が押されている。

Muganraku (Okamoto Jōhō) – The Blind Potter of Remarkable Sensitivity

Okamoto Jōhō, known by the seal name Muganraku, was a blind potter renowned for his extraordinary ability to create delicately hand-built ceramics with remarkably thin walls, despite his loss of sight. His works are characterized by refined craftsmanship and tactile elegance.

There are several theories about his life. One suggests that he was originally a potter from Inuyama, who worked under Mori Yūsestsu before moving to Kuwana, where he eventually lost his vision. After going blind, he retrained himself by shaping clay through touch alone, developing a unique and deeply intuitive style of pottery.

Another account claims that he was a blacksmith by trade, who turned to ceramics after losing his sight in a workplace accident.

In his later years, he is said to have moved to Tokyo, and only a small number of his works survive today. His pieces are signed with the distinctive seal “Muganraku”, meaning “Joy Without Sight”—a name that captures both his condition and his profound artistic spirit.
