Video on Shoji Hamada

The video was very informative on the process of what Shoji Hamada does to create his thousands of artworks. There were a few things that have caught my attention throughout the video. The first thing was Shoji Hamada had hired workers to help him out. The workers would carry several pots on a board down a hill as if it was just a pizza pie. If I were a worker of Hamada's, I would be terrified of dropping everything while making my way down the hill. Another thing that had caught my attention was that Hamada had allowed his grandchildren to design on some of his work. The last thing that had caught my attention was the bristle on the brushes he used. Hamada had used handmade brushes for his projects. The bristles of the brushes were made out of dog hair. Normally you hear that the bristles on a paintbrush are made of horse hair, not dog fur!
