26310 KATO Kozo, Living National Treasure: Karatsu-style Guinomi

Height: 4.2 cm
Diameter: 5.8 cm

A work by Living National Treasure Kato Kozo, who studied under Arakawa Toyozo, a grand master of modern and contemporary Shino ware. Kozo deeply pursued Momoyama Mino ware, continuously creating masterpieces such as traditional Shino, Ki-Seto, and Seto-guro using a semi-underground anagama kiln.

This Karatsu-style Guinomi is a rare and exceptional piece. It is a masterpiece imbued with the rustic and wabi-sabi charm of Karatsu ware.
