Height 5.0cm
Diameter 6.2cm

This work is by Living National Treasure Kozo Kato, who studied under the great modern Shino master Toyozo Arakawa and has continued to produce masterpieces in traditional Shino, Kiseto, and Setoguro ware using a semi-above-ground anagama kiln, deeply exploring the Momoyama and Mino styles. This truly beautiful Shino work, unique to Kozo, displays exceptional texture with beautiful colors, fully demonstrating the artist's high level of skill. The crimson of the clay glimpsed through the beautiful pink glaze, the exquisite shape, and the beautiful and elegant scenery make this a magnificent Shino piece.
