About
Hamada Shōji was a major figure of the Nihon Mingei (Japanese folk art) movement and had significant international influence on 20th-century studio pottery.Inspired by the writing of aesthetic theorist Yanagi Sōetsu (1889–1961) and championed by Hamada and English potter Bernard Leach (1887–1979), the Mingei movement claimed that beauty was most evident in everyday objects made by craftspeople, achieved through their care and design constraint. In 1965 he exhibited and lectured in Australia at the East Sydney Technical College (now National Art School) and the
University of Sydney. -
