These works are by Mr. Shimaoka, who was an apprentice of Mr. Shoji Hamada. Both men are now listed as Human National Treasures in Japan. We have a little tea cup like the one shown here. It was a gift to us by Mr. Shimaoka's daughter who was in Long Beach State University at the same time as my husband. His works are behind locked glass as they are very expensive.
