This work is by Living National Treasure Kato Kozo, who studied under the great master of modern Shino ware, Arakawa Toyozo, and has continued to produce masterpieces of traditional Shino, Kiseto, and Setoguro ware in a semi-above ground anagama kiln, deeply exploring the Momoyama and Mino styles. This is a truly beautiful Shino work that is unique to Kozo, and the beautiful colors show off an outstanding texture, fully demonstrating the artist's high level of ability. This is a wonderful Shino work that boasts a beautiful and elegant view of the scarlet clay glimpsed through the beautiful pink glaze, a magnificent vessel shape that is highly aesthetically pleasing, and a beautiful and elegant landscape.
