Hamada Shoji's legacy as a celebrated major figure in the Mingei folk-art movement is enduring. He established the town of Mashiko as a world-renowned pottery center, where he produced functional ceramics that showcase simplicity. Hamada was inspired particularly by the folk-craft techniques of ceramics from Okinawa and Korea.
Hamada’s designs convey simplicity and highlight the inherited techniques of craftsmanship in pottery passed down through generations in Japan. For example, he typified the persimmon and iron glazes, while demonstrating the excellence in forms: Bottles, pots, vases, plates.
This bottle shows an iconic form and design of Hamda's: alternating wax resist and dark tenmoku glaze panels with a persimmon underglaze.
