Turkish-Blue Glaze Vase by Kato Kenji
We’d like to thank all for visiting our Inayoshi Osamu exhibition, which will remain online over the weekend. From today we’ll be introducing new works to the gallery beginning with a now rare work by Mino potter Kato Kenji’s (1933-2008). Kato’s specialty was his “toruko-ao” or Turkish Blue glaze works, like the elegant vase here. After graduating from the Kyoto University of Fine Art, Kato apprenticed under Kyoto legend and Living National Treasure Tomimoto Kenkichi (1886-1963). After this apprenticeship, Kato embarked on an internationally successful career, including membership in I.A.C. In perfect condition with a signed box, 30cm.tall. signed on base.
