It has been more than 60 years since the encounter of Lisa Larson and the human national treasure, Shoji Hamada. Lisa is a flat dish of Mashiko -yaki that I wanted to make all the time. Lisa Larson met Shoji Hamada, who flourished Mashiko -yaki in the 1950s, and she learned about Japanese pottery. Since she has been interested in Japanese culture since then, she dreamed that she would someday want to make a work of Mashiko ware. Her dream has finally become a reality.
[What is Mashiko ware]
A pottery that produces around Mashiko -cho, Haga -gun, Tochigi Prefecture. Mashiko is said to be a modern pottery mecca. In 1924, Shoji Hamada settled and built a pottery kiln, attracting attention not only in Japan but also in the world's pottery world. Since stone powder and old iron powder are glazed and colored with dog brushes, it is characterized by its heavy hue and a sloppy feel.
