Footnote
Shinsaku Hamada, the second-generation head of the Hamada Kiln, dedicated his life to continuing the legacy of his father, Shoji Hamada, a key figure in the Mingei movement. Educated in ceramics at Waseda University, Shinsaku combined traditional Mashiko ware with modern innovation. His work maintained the rustic charm of folk crafts while experimenting with form and design. He received numerous awards for his contributions, including the Tochigi Prefecture Cultural Merit Award. Hamada also served as director of the Mashiko Reference Collection, where he helped preserve and celebrate the heritage of Mashiko ceramics.
