  • Hamada Shōji (1894-1978)
    HAMADA SHŌJI (1894-1978) Hamada Shōji attained unsurpassed recognition at home and abroad for his folk art style ceramics. Inspired by Okinawan and Korean ceramics in particular, Hamada became an important figure in the Japanese folk arts movement in the 1960s. He was a founding member of the Japan Folk Art Association with Bernard Leach, Kawai Kanjirō, and Yanagi Soetsu. After 1923, he moved to Mashiko where he rebuilt farmhouses and established his large workshop. Throughout his life, Hamada demonstrated an excellent glazing technique, using such trademark glazes as temmoku iron glaze, nuka rice-husk ash glaze, and kaki persimmon glaze. Through his frequent visits and demonstrations abroad, Hamada influenced many European and American potters in later generations as well as those of his own. 1894 Born in Tokyo 1912 Saw etchings and pottery by Bernard Leach in Ginza, Tokyo 1913 Studied at the Tokyo Technical College with Itaya Hazan (1872-1963) Became friends with Kawai Kanjiro (1890-1966) and visits in Kyoto (1915) 1914 Became interested in Mashiko pottery after seeing a teapot at Hazan's home 1916 Graduated from Tokyo Technical College and enrolled at Kyoto Ceramics Laboratory, visits with Tomimoto Kenkichi (1886-1963) Began 10,000 glaze experiments with Kawai 1917 Visited Okinawa to study kiln construction 1919 Met Bernard Leach (1887-1979) at his Tokyo exhibition, invited to him his studio in Abiko where meets Yanagi Sōetsu (1889-1961) Traveled to Korea and Manchuria, China with Kawai 1920 Visited Mashiko for the first time Traveled to England with Leach, built a climbing kiln at St. Ives 1923 Traveled to France, Italy, Crete, and Egypt after his solo exhibition in London 1924 Moved to Mashiko.
