Celebrating a centenary year of Anglo-Japanese relationship

This year is an anniversary of ceramic art history in the UK. A hundred year ago, Bernard Leach (1887-1979)  and Hamada Shoji (1894-1978) moved to England from Japan and started a pottery in St Ives, Cornwall. The ceramic studio; The Leach Pottery, has established studio pottery we can see today. Their accomplishment in 1920 was a tipping point of the ceramic art world.

We, arti fiant, celebrates the centennial anniversary with some new acquisition of Hamada’s beautiful works. If you feel an interest in our latest portfolio of his pieces, please contact us.
