Shoji Hamada was at one point known as a living national treasure. His work influenced studio pottery immensely and was a major figure in the mingei folk-art movement. I chose this piece because the pop of color on it stood out to me, due to the use of similar darker colors in his other works. I also am intrigued by the thinness and size of the bottom of the bowl despite how it wide the bowl amounts up to be.
