Description
Shoji Hamada: A Potter's Way and Work is an in-depth portrait of the life and work of Shoji Hamada, one of the key figures behind the development of studio pottery in the 20th century. Alongside Bernard Leach, he played a pivotal role in shaping the international Studio Pottery movement. This book presents a wealth of detail about techniques and processes through text and over 200 new colour photographs from Susan Peterson's stay at Hamada's compound in 1970. The author also assesses Hamada's ongoing legacy to the world of studio pottery, providing an authoritative account of one of the towering figures in the ceramics world. Hamada's life was marked by a keen perception of his energetic lifestyle and dazzling work cycle, as well as intriguing specifics about the firing of his kilns. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of this major figure in Japan's folk art revival, who was designated a 'Living National Treasure' by the Japanese government in 1955. 240 pages, paperback
