An Akae Bowl

Taisho Era (1912-1926) or Showa Era (1926-1989)

About the work

This exquisite Akae bowl (赤絵碗) by the renowned National Living Treasure Shoji Hamada is a masterpiece of Mashiko ware, authenticated by his grandson, the popular ceramic artist Tomoo Hamada. The bowl's elegant form, expertly shaped on the potter's wheel, is generously adorned with vivid red overglaze (akae), which creates a striking and dynamic visual appeal. The craftsmanship speaks to the legacy of Shoji Hamada, whose work is celebrated for its profound connection to traditional folk art with a touch of innovation.

This piece, accompanied by a tomobako (artist-signed wooden storage box) by Tomoo Hamada, is not only a beautiful functional item but also a collector's piece that connects two generations of pottery masters.

Footnote

Shoji Hamada was a leading figure in the Mingei folk craft movement, which sought to preserve traditional craft techniques and elevate their status as high art. Born in 1894, Hamada studied under Itaya Hazan at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and learned kiln techniques at the Kyoto Ceramic Research Institute. He was a lifelong friend of Kanjiro Kawai and collaborated with Bernard Leach, with whom he worked in both Japan and England. Hamada's dedication to ceramics earned him the designation of Living National Treasure in 1955, and he received the Order of Culture in 1968, cementing his legacy as one of Japan's most revered ceramists.
