A spectacular large striated vase of dark earth covered in pale dusting of ash by Sato Kazuhiko enclosed in the original signed wooden box. It is 23.5 x 15 x 41.5 cm (9-1/2 x 6 x 16-1/2 inches)and is in excellent condition, stamped SATOH 1995 on the base.
One of my personal favorites, Sato Kazuhiko was born in Kanagawa prefecture in 1947. He graduated the Tokyo University of Art Ceramic department advanced studies in 1972. Trained under Living National Treasures Tamura Koichi and Fujimoto Yoshimichi, his graduation work was awarded a prize. He held his first solo exhibition the next year, a difficult feat for a young artist. In 1979 his work was displayed in New York’s Bloomingdales Department store, and the following year he was selected for exhibition in Sidney and Melbourne, Australia. Three years later his works would travel to Washington DC and London. From there he blossomed, one can only wonder how he kept up with the demand or the number of exhibitions he was asked for each year. He is a widely displayed artist and author of many books on the ceramic arts. He also plays guitar and piano, self-taught! For more information on this artist see Modern Japanese Ceramics in American Collections (1993).
