By Appointment is best. You might get lucky just popping by, but a great deal of the month I am out visiting artists or scouring up new items, so days in the gallery are limited.

Plovers soar over strips of white and gray along the jagged edge of a green pool on this elongated Oribe slab platter on four raised feet by Kato Kuniya enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Oribe O-zara. It displays much of the most notable aspects of Mino ware, from the rough white clay torn and scarred, the rich green of Oribe copper, and the snow-white and gray and of Shino and Nezumi Shino wares. It is 65 x 28.5 x 10 cm (25-1/2 x 11 x 4 inches) and is in perfect condition.
Kato Kuniya was born in Tajimi City, home of Oribe and Shino wares, in 1940. After initial studies at the municipal research facility, he apprenticed under Hineno Sakuzo. Following a stint as an instructor, he went to Kyoto to further his skills where he studied painting, decorating and sculpture, before returning to Toki to establish his kiln in 1970. He has since exhibited with the Nitten Nihon Gendai Togeiten National Modern Ceramics Exhibition, Asahi Togeiten, Chunichi Kokusai International Ceramics Exhibition, Nihon Dento Kogeiten National Traditional Crafts Exhibition among many others, and has received many others.
