Oribe Vessel/Vase by Kato YasukageXIV

Kato Shoji(b.1964) was born into quite an illustrious Mino potting family and has since changed his name to Yasukage. When his father passed away the young Kato was sent to Bizen to study with Living National Treasure Yamamoto Toshu. Afterwards, he studied at Nagoya Arts University and then took over his families kiln next to the famous Momoyama kiln ruins Motoyashiki. He adds a chic sensibility to the classic Mino way.
