A large and quite dramatic press-moulded studio pottery vase by one of the great 20th Century Japanese potters, Hamada Shoji. Kaki glaze with splashed copper and seiji glaze decoration. Condition is generally good and essentially as it emerger from the kiln, but there is a non-penetrating fissure to the underside where some of the press-moulded construction has opened up during firing and some minor kiln grit to the upper side. Please see the photographs. Dimensions (approximate): 22cm x 19cm x 8cm. This is a relatively early example of Hamada’s iconic press-moulded kaki glazed vases featuring a thrown rather than a press-moulded neck. There is a very similar example (same decoration, thrown neck) in the Hamada Shoji memorial museum in Mashiko. An iconic 20th century pot, albeit with a couple of points against it. This item is in the category “Pottery, Ceramics & Glass\Decorative Pottery, Ceramics & Glass\Vases”. The seller is “jorrocks1945″ and is located in this country: GB.

In excellent condition with no chips, cracks or restoration. Complete with original signed box. Hamada Shoji was a renowned craftsman and representative figure in modern Japanese pottery. Born in Tokyo in 1894, he resolved to become a potter while still a student at Furitsuicchu the Tokyo First Prefectural Jr. High School, Hibiya high school at present. After studying ceramics at the Tokyo Higher Technical School (present-day Tokyo Institute of Technology), Hamada joined the Kyoto Municipal Ceramic Laboratory, where he would meet his lifelong friend, Kawai Kanjiro. As Hamada later summarized the narrative arc of his career, I found the path in Kyoto, began my journey in England, studied in Okinawa, and developed in Mashiko. In 1920, he accompanied Bernard Leach to England where he began his practice as a potter. When the time came to return home to Japan, he sought a quiet life in the countryside, and situated himself in the town of Mashiko in 1924. During this period, he also made an extended sojourn in Okinawa, which became the inspiration for a large number of works. In 1930, he relocated the building which would later become the main residence of his compound (later donated to the Ceramic Art Messe Mashiko), and in the years up until 1942, transplanted many traditional old houses onto the premises to create a workshop and residence. It was from this base that he founded the Mingei folk-art movement along with cohorts Yanagi Soetsu and Kawai Kanjiro, which was to have a significant impact on the Japanese craft world. In 1955, Hamada was recognized along with Tomimoto Kenkichi et. As an inaugural recipient of the Japanese governments Preserver of Important Intangible Cultural Properties (Living National Treasure) designation, and in 1968, became the third potter to be awarded the prestigious Order of Culture.
