| A fantastic and huge Han-zutsu Shino Chawan by one of that genres greatest 20th century names Kato Kageaki (1899-1972), wrapped in a Shifuku silk bag and enclosed in the original signed and stamped wooden box. It is a proud, heavily potted bowl with great stature. Dashes of red cut through the thick white Shino glaze of the front, while the rim is burnt amber with rust. Inside white drips of feldspathic glaze studded with su-ana pinholes, which will, eventually with use, fill with color, an effect for which shino is prized. The bowl is 5-1/2 inches (14 cm) diameter, 3-1/2 inches (9 cm) tall and, of course, in perfect condition. Kageaki was the 12th generation head of the Kato clan, his ancestor Kagemitsu being the first of the Mino potters, establishing the family kiln in 1574. He was named a Prefectural Living National Treasure (properly called Mukei Bunkazai or Intangible Cultural Property) in 1958. He was often displayed at and prized at the National Traditional Arts and Crafts Exhibition (Nihon Dento Kogeiten) and was a member of the Nihon Kogei Kai. His torch was passed to his son Kato Seizo and Mizuno Takuzo among others. The kiln is now headed by his grandson, the 14th generation head of the family Kato Yasukage. | ||||||||||
