Note du spécialiste

Hajime Kato (1900-1968) was born in Seto, Aichi and became an assistant at the Aichi College of Ceramics in 1914. He won a grand prise at the Paris Expo in 1937 and establised his own kiln in Hiyoshi, Yokohama in 1940. He had researched and restored ancient Chinese ceramics and styles and in 1951 he was selected as an Intangible Cultural Asset for the yellow and red paint technique and went on to become an Important Intangible Cultural Asset in 1961.
