Yanagi and Hamada heard about these Okinawan Funeral Urns being bulldozed in Okinawa during the building of American Air bases. They single-handedly rescued hundreds and they survive to this day because of their work. They did much to recognize Japanese, Korean, Okinawan and Jomon folk craft and aided in its preservation. I think this alone is worth our undying appreciation of their work.

This cream colored work was made in Okinawa when Hamada spent his winters there, and shipped to Mashiko to be enamel decorated.
