Shoji Hamada (Japanese, 1894-1978),a studio pottery ewer, of ovoid form, decorated with an iron glaze, to the front with a field of white Nuka glaze, in its associated bamboo wood case, the case with stamped marks, 17.5cm highShoji Hamada (1894-1978) was a renowned Japanese ceramic artist who played a significant role in the development of the Mingei (Folk Craft) movement and was instrumental in introducing Japanese pottery traditions to the Western world. Hamada's work is highly regarded for its simplicity, rustic beauty, and connection to the natural world.Born in Tokyo, Hamada initially studied ceramics at the Tokyo Technical High School. However, it was his encounter with the British potter Bernard Leach in 1919 that had a profound influence on his artistic career. Hamada joined Leach at his pottery in St. Ives, Cornwall, England, where they worked together, exchanging ideas and techniques. This collaboration marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship and partnership.Hamada's ceramics are deeply rooted in the Japanese folk craft tradition. He embraced the philosophy of Mingei, which emphasized the beauty and value of everyday objects made by anonymous craftsmen. Hamada believed in the importance of creating functional pottery that could be used and appreciated in daily life, rather than pursuing purely decorative or abstract forms.One of Hamada's most famous contributions to ceramic art is his mastery of the technique of Mashiko-yaki.

Hamada settled in Mashiko in 1924 and established his pottery there, creating pieces that embodied the rustic aesthetic and traditional techniques of the region.Hamada's work is characterized by its earthy colours, simple and sturdy forms, and organic glazes. He often used traditional materials such as wood ash and iron oxide, which created unique and unpredictable effects during firing. His pieces range from functional tableware like bowls, plates, and teapots to decorative vases and sculptural forms.Throughout his career, Hamada received numerous accolades for his contributions to ceramic art. He was designated a Living National Treasure of Japan in 1955 and received the Order of Culture, one of Japan's highest honours, in 1968. His influence extended far beyond Japan, as he travelled extensively, taught workshops, and exhibited his work internationally.Condition ReportNatural imperfections to the glaze due to manufacturing.
