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.
