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 died young. This is the top work of Shoji Kamoda, one of Japan's leading ceramicists, whose works have left a strong influence on the ceramics scene and are surely passed down to future generations through art museums and famous collectors. This work is the masterpiece of Shoji Kamoda, created in 1976 in his later years. Shoji Kamoda's pottery, which took the world by storm with its different styles every year, has some pieces that deviate from the regular style of his vases and ceramic panels.
