"Kato"(Takahiko)has arrived safely. And what an eerie, mysterious, almost forbidding work it is! It seems as if it has a secret that may not be easy to solve. Perhaps it would be better this way. I just hope that familiarity won't dull the wonder I feel. Of all the non-traditional form artists I have seen at your e-gallery, Kato (Takahiko) impresses me the most. Thank you Mark

Well, it arrived today completed and we are very pleased with the outcome indeed. The all-silver facade is cut and glistens when turned and the inside and lid are all silver a... click for details |

 | Shigaraki Vase by Ueda Naokata IIIIn Shigaraki the oldest potting families that continue today are the Takahashi and Ueda potters.

Here is a very dignified vase by Naokata III and we can ... click for details |
 | Blue Crystal Glazed Striped 'Vase' by Seto HiroshiSeto Hiroshi(1941-1994) was a leading Mashiko ceramic artist whose work is quite far from the 'standard' idea of what a Mashiko pot is. In fact, like fellow Mashiko potter and inspiration Kamoda Shoji, Seto boldly created new forms and glazing styles. He studied under Tomimoto Kenkichi(and also w... click for details |
 | Four Silver and Gold Glazed Guinomi by Ogawa MachikoFirst chill one and then fill it with your favorite sake--being in Shizuoka that would be Isojiman for us--and enjoy.

 | Set of Five Bizen Guinomi by Mori TogakuHere is a rare 1966 set of five Bizen guinomi made in Mori Togaku's anagama he first made in Bizen proper. It seems this set was a special order and Mori selected the best five yohen from that 1966 firing and placed them in a signed box for the patron. However, they were simply stored away and ne... click for details |
 | Kabura-Tokkuri-Vase by Mori TogakuAs many Bizen fans know, Mori Togaku's kilns are as much part of his brilliant career as his pots. He's working on a massive 90 meter kiln now outside of Bizen at Samukaze, yet before he established his mountain top studio there made his first large O-gama kiln in Aioi, Hyogo prefecture. That was... click for details |

 | Gosu Blue Henko-Jar by Kawai SotaKawai Sota(b.1973) is the great grandson of Kawai Kanjiro--Sota's father is Toshitaka and grandfather is Hirotsugu--and creates in the Kawai style; his abstract forms and beautiful glazes point to that. There is a youthful energy steeped in the Kawai tradition bouncing off his animated work; sure... click for details |
