26460 Kozo Kato (Shino Teacup) KATO Kozo

Height: 8.6 cm, Diameter: 8.0 cm
A work by Living National Treasure Kozo Kato, who studied under the great master of modern Shino, Toyozo Arakawa. Deeply committed to the Momoyama-era Mino tradition, Kato continues to produce outstanding pieces of traditional Shino, Kizeto, and Setoguro using a semi-underground anagama kiln. This is a truly beautiful Shino work unique to Kato, showcasing his exceptional skill through its superb coloration and exquisite texture. With the scarlet hue of the clay peeking through the beautiful pink glaze, a magnificent form of great aesthetic appeal, and a scenery that is as elegant as it is beautiful, this is a truly remarkable Shino masterpiece.
