Tsubo-Jar / Oribe / Kato Shigetaka
Oribe Tsubo-Jar by Kato Shigetaka
Kato Shigetaka (1927-) is the third son of the late great Kato Tokuro, younger brother of the late great Okabe Mineo, and father of Takahiro. Shigetaka has had his own successful career winning the Japan Ceramic Society Prize and having a Shino work featured on the cover of the 'Modern Japanese Ceramics in American Collections' exhibition catalog published by the Japan Society, NY in 1993. Kato, believe it or not, had his first exhibition in Tokyo in 1988---he started in clay with his father in 1945 and assisted Tokuro as well as making his own works, including dozens of ceramic walls in buildings throughout Japan. This is a first-rate museum quality Oribe jar that dates to 1969. It has all the rugged qualities and refinement that epitomizes the finest of Kato's work. In perfect condition with a signed box, 22cm.tallx24x25, signed on base. Kato is the father of the now popular ceramic artist Kato Takahiro
