He appeared like a comet on the Japanese modern ceramics scene, fully demonstrating his unique aesthetic eye and artistic sense, and every year he produced innovative and wonderful works in a variety of styles. Although he was hailed as a "genius" and "prodigy" in the history of modern ceramics, he passed away at a young age. His works, which left a strong influence on the ceramics scene thereafter and are surely passed down to future generations through art museums and famous collectors, are the work of one of Japan's great ceramicists, Shoji Kamoda. Unique beauty of form and inlaid patterns with a force that seems to reach the heavens. A top-class work that needs no explanation.
