About the Artist:
Tatsuzo Shimaoka (Shimaoka Tatsuzo (1919 – 2007) was a Japanese mingei potter who studied under Shoji Hamada and later became the second Living National Treasure of Mashiko, Japan. He was best known for his unique Jomon zogan style of pottery, and was a master of many slip decorating and firing techniques for pottery. Throughout his career, Shimaoka worked collaboratively with a group of workers, students, and apprentices from Japan and abroad. After supervising the loading of what would become his last noborigama firing in late 2007, Shimaoka collapsed, and unfortunately died in late 2007. He will forever be remembered as one of Japan’s Finest Pottery Masters and indeed a National Treasure.
