Shoji Hamada was one of the most influential potters of the 20th century. He traveled a lot to learn about diverse ceramics and folk craft traditions. He also build a climbing kiln in England at St. Ives with Bernard Leach through the USA to give ceramic demonstration and workshops.Years later after receiving the Tochigi Prefecture Culture Award and Minister of Education Award for Art, and also won several other awards in Japan. I picked this piece I like the texture of the vase towards the bottom, the curvy lines and also how the colors blend. The bottle is made out of stoneware with wooden box.
