Hamada Shôji was a notable ceramics artist of the 20th century. Designated a [[Living National Treasure]] by the Japanese government, he was prominent in the ''[[mingei]]'' ("folk crafts") movement of the prewar era.
Hamada began his study of ceramics in Kyoto. In 1938, he accompanied [[Yanagi Soetsu|Yanagi Sôetsu]], [[Kawai Kanjiro|Kawai Kanjirô]], and a number of other ''mingei'' figures on a three-week trip to Okinawa, marking the beginning of his engagement with [[Ryukyuan pottery]].
Hamada later became known for his work in the style of [[Mashiko wares]], a pottery style native to [[Tochigi prefecture]].
