Note: Additional information can be found on Japanese National Tourism Organization website: http://www.jnto.go.jp/eng/attractions/facilities/heart_art/traditional_tochigi.html Note: Mashiko Sankokan (the Mashiko Collection Reference Museum)--Japanese National Tourism Organization website. Note: Mashiko (Mashiko-machi) is a town located in Haga District, Tochigi, Japan ... Mashiko is known for its pottery, called mashikoyaki (益子焼). Early pottery in Mashiko dates back to the Jōmon and Yayoi periods. Mashikoyaki is often thought of as a simple and rustic in style, brown with maybe a little red glaze, but modern pottery made in Mashiko today is found in many styles, because of the creative freedom brought to Mashiko by Shoji Hamada. Modern Mashikoyaki dates only to 1853, when a potter discovered that local clay here was ideal for ceramics.--Wikipedia. Note: Shōji Hamada (December 9, 1894 - January 5, 1978) was a Japanese potter. He was a significant influence on studio pottery of the twentieth century, and a major figure of the mingei folk-art movement, establishing the town of Mashiko as a world-renowned pottery centre. ... In 1955 the Japanese government designated him a 'Living National Treasure.'--Wikipedia. |
