Japanese Mingei Glazed Tea Pot with Kintsugi by Shoji Hamada

About the Item

A Japanese stoneware tea pot by Hamada Shoji (Japanese 1894-1978) circa 1960-80s. The teapot is of the classic form and of a strong style of Mingei (folk art(. It was covered in a thick Nuka glaze (ashes from husks of rice hulls) with prominent dripping effects to the lower unglazed body. The handle shows kintsugi repair which was done at some point of its life historically, adding a special charm to the piece. The teapot comes its original tomobako storage box with artist's signature and title as well as glaze name. Japanese potter Hamada Shoji (1894-1978) was a leading figure of the Mingei (Folk Art) movement in Japan. He established his studio and practice in the Japanese town Mashiko to reinvent and spearhead the style that is both rustic and refined. From the renowned pottery center, he connected with international art communities by introducing the traditional Japanese pottery art to a wider world. In 1955 he was designated a "Living National Treasure", for the first time for someone from the field of crafts.
