Kato Takeshi ( also known as Kato Ken ) is a fast rising star in the world of yakimono ( Japanese ceramics ). He is influenced by Kato Kozo. This is a traditionally wood fired chawan with good clay and a rich underpainted glaze that shows the fingermarks of the artist when he held it and dipped it in the glaze. Very nice traditional Shino bowl. Great foot too. Dai ichi arts had a chawan up for sale a few years ago for $1650, and it was not as nice as this one! About 5"+ diameter ( big ) ...click for details

The Miwa family now boast 3 ningen kokuho ( living national treasures ) and the current head is Miwa Jusetsu ( Ryusaku). Miwa Kazuhiko is his brother and a much respected artist. This Hagi chawan is large and in Kazuhiko's distinctive sculptural style. It is one of the finest pieces I have seen by him. I would guess this would retail for $6000 or more in Japan. Fine rich glaze, perfectly fired fine clay. Just a great piece. 4 7/8" diameter by 4" tall, singed by artist in si ...click for details
