	Three Ceramic Legends in Japan -- Kamoda, Okabe, Tsuji
		Tono was known as a place for roof-tile manufacturing, and had a very coarse clay full of silica grains, which was to prove pivotal in reshaping Kamoda's career.
		The clay was unsuitable for throwing on a wheel, so Kamoda started to make hand-built pots that lost the sharp, tense lines of his earlier works but had more freedom in the unconventional contours of the body.
		The main focus of this period is faceted works, in flat bodies or the faces of polyhedrons, which show the earthiness of the Tono clay.
