Mongama
A kiln of Mashiko-ware pottery headed by Hamada Shoji. Since establishing the kiln in 1931, Hamada and his disciples have presented many works in succession using Mashiko traditions and materials. Mashiko’s recent rise to prosperity as a major production area for folk-craft ceramics has been greatly influenced by the ceramic-making activities of this site. Hamada’s achievements were recognized in 1955, when he was designated as the first individual holder of Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasure). Following his death, Hamada’s son Shinsaku took over the kiln and has been teaching highly reputed potters.
