Shoji Hamada was a Japanese potter who had a significant influence on studio pottery in the 20thcentury. At one point, Shoji worked with Bernard Leach (who we have previously researched). Shoji built his own pottery and committed himself to using only locally sourced materials, not only in the clay he used, but also the glazes he created and the brushes he manufactured himself from dog hair and bamboo. I have chosen this vase made by Shoji because I thought it was very unique. I really enjoy the texture the vase has with the effects of the glaze. I also really enjoy the color and I have bought a glaze very similar to it! This vase looks like it was made by throwing different sections on the wheel and then putting it all together.
