[1] According to curatorial notes, Taka Hauge, in conversation in 2010, said that she bought these dishes from Shimaoka’s workshop in 1962, the year Shimaoka received the Nihon Mingeikan Prize at the exhibition of new work at the Nihon Mingeikan (Japan Folk Crafts Museum) in Komaba, Tokyo.

Label

Shimaoka Tatsuzo (1919–2007, Mashiko, Tochigi prefecture) was the leading successor to potter Hamada Shoji and, like him, a leader in the Folk Craft Movement. Shimaoka’s ornamentation borrowed from the slip-based decoration of folk kilns such as Onta, but his tablewares were fresh and urbane in scale and sensibility.
