Hamada House - Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Art
The last stop on my trip to Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Art was to Shoji Hamada's house. Hamada was not just a famous potter but also bought old buildings from the Edo Period, relocated them, and renovated them. In 1930 he renovated a farmhouse to become his residence. He later renovated other buildings for his workshops and guest houses.
His house was donated to the Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Art in 1989, and rebuilt at the museum. It is on the grounds of the museum and is free to go into. You can also see an old kiln at the location. The house is a farmhouse built during the Edo period.

so awesome, love Hamadas work
Great to see Hamada's house, but you should know a little bit about pottery to be allowed to be there. I'm surprised you didn't call the kiln an oven!
2:28 I'm telling! 😂😂🤣 just kidding

So interesting, but you need to do more research before you speak. Hamada was not just influential in the Mingei movement, he was one of the founders. He was the first potter in Japan to be given the honor of "Living National Treasure", and was arguably the most influential potter of the 20th century. And you gave out so much misinformation about the kilns and how pottery is fired, I can't even begin to list the mistakes. What's that old saying - "Better to say nothing and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."?
