Shoji Hamada Video (Cynthia Fraile)
The Shoji Hamada video was very interesting. I found it very fascinating that he has such a huge kiln that could fit 3,000 works of pottery in. As well as he had workers physically cutting and bringing trees to the kiln. I thought it was crazy how Hamada use to let his grandson take 1 pot from each batch to paint and would sell it for $5000. The one thing that stood out to me the most was that Hamada would collect fur from an Akita to make paint brushes. I could only imagine how long it would take to place each strand together to create a pain brush.
