He appeared like a comet on the Japanese modern and contemporary pottery 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 and contemporary pottery, he passed away at a young age. Since then, he has left a strong influence on the pottery scene, and his remaining works are sure to be passed down to future generations through art museums and famous collectors. These are the finest works by Shoji Kamoda, one of Japan's leading potters.
