This is a vase left behind by the genius potter Shoji Kamoda.
This unique jar was made of rough clay from Tono, Iwate prefecture.

What attracts the eye in this work is the coarsely carved scale pattern.
What is even more interesting is the finely curved lines around the mouth, as if licking the surface.
In addition to the coarsely carved scaly patterns, what is even more interesting is the finely curved carving around the mouth, as if licking. It is interesting to note that the mouth is decorated with a finely carved curved line carving.
These two elements harmoniously compete with each other on a single vase.
It has a quiet sense of life.
It is a work of the best of 37-year-old Shoji Kamoda, who took advantage of the characteristics of the clay of Tono.
This was made when he was 37 years old.
