Blog #3: Shoji Hamada



Shoji Hamada is a Japanese ceramicist.  He was trained in pottery at Tokyo Technical College. He opened his own studio in Japan where he only used locally sourced clay and glaze brushes from the hair of neighborhood dogs.  I chose this piece because its different from all his others.  It looks as if the paint is melting or dripping whereas his other pieces are symbols.
