"Shoji Hamada and Bernard Leach are among the most important figures in the ceramic world of this century. They have established standards of craft in their own countries and have influenced artist-potters everywhere. Although Hamada's work is internationally famous, his life, his ideas and techniques are still not widely known. In this profile, Leach has captured Hamada the whole man, his friend of over fifty-five years. Tape-recorded interviews made in 1973, material selected from all of Hamada's published writings, and numerous letters are blended here into a dialogue between the two men, with occasional interjections by key people in their lives. The dialogue traces Hamada's development from the first crystallization of his aim to be a potter until the present day, revealing his ideas on materials and techniques, his insights into work and aesthetics, and his unique way of life." -dust jacket front flap.
