Shoji Hamada Folk Art

1894-1978

Shoji Hamada, Designated as a Living National Treasure in 1955, was famed for his return to folk crafts (mingei), establishing the small town of Mashiko as a center of pottery. Hamada espoused simplicity of form in his works, particularly notable in his sugar cane motifs. Hamada strived to reach a style and feeling of innocence through his craft.

Japanese Glazed Tsubo Wine Jar, c. 1875
Located in Chicago, IL
This large, glazed stoneware vessel is a Meiji-era Japanese storage jar (tsubo) used for storing rice wine, water or even tea leaves and spices. Sometimes referred to as a Martaban jar due to historic trade routes, this style of unrefined, ovoid jar was common throughout East Asia as everyday containers for liquids and foodstuffs. The large vessel is sculpted to a tapered form with broad shoulders, a narrow base, and a constrained neck flanked by two small loop handles. The interior and shoulders are drenched in a thin, iron-rich glaze that imparts a glassy, dark brown finish and drips down the unglazed sides with irregular movement. Beautifully imperfect, the jar's textured finish and subtle asymmetry honors the spirit of wabi-sabi and recalls primitive medieval Japanese...
