Shoji Hamada - Master Potter was produced to accompany the exhibition of the same name held at the Ditchling Museum in Spring 1998. This event was part of a cultural exchange at the time with work from the Ditchling community forming the centrepiece of an exhibition entitled The English Arts and Crafts Movement and Hamada Shoji which toured Japan.

The following writings accompany a wonderful set of colour photographs of Hamada's work.

  • Impressions of Mr. Hamada, his pottery and life at Mashiko, 1954 - Janet Leach
