Taking hints from Yayoi period (circa 3 B.C.)red pots all the way to the 20th century genius of Kamoda Shoji's(1933-1983) forms, Kako Katsumi(b.1965)is creating works imbibed with the same spirit of the unknown and known potters noted above. This emerging ceramic artist is someone we've been following for a number of years and continue to be thoroughly impressed with his new works. Here is a slab-built vessel that combines a quartz-flecked stoneware body, light green glaze(similar to Kamakura period stoneware), incised-paddled lines and an abstract rusty red motif; a very fascinating work indeed. More about Kako--and his awards--can be read in our archives or at e-yakimono.net. Now is the time to get a Kako. In perfect condition with a signed box, 31cm.tallx19.5x31, signed on base.
