Shōji Hamada was a Japanese potter and a significant influence on studio pottery of the twentieth century.
He was a major figure of the mingei folk-art movement, establishing the town of Mashiko as a world-renowned pottery centre.
Having spent three years in St Ives with Bernard Leach, he returned to Japan in 1923 and traveled to potteries and stayed at Tsuboya in Okinawa Prefecture for weeks, then eventually established his workshop in Mashiko, about 100 km north-east of Tokyo. Here, he 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.
