Shoji Hamada was a very talented artist who worked with ceramics and pottery. In the 20th century, Hamada traveled all over to gain experience and learn all about the history and traditions of ceramics. There were many things that influenced Hamada's style of ceramics such as English medieval pottery, Okinawan stoneware, and Korean pottery. Hamada received many awards for his work like the Tochigi Prefecture Culture Award and Minister of Education Award for Art. After looking at several of Hamadas work i realized they all have there own unique look whether it is from there shape or the markings on each. I liked this vase because of the different colors and patterns on it. How it goes from dark colors with several curved lines to just a plain white color is very interesting. I especially liked his pottery works that were not the generic shape of a bowl or vase and that had some texture to them.
