Large wabi sabi vase-sculpture by Kazuhiko Sato
A large, remarkably rounded vase-sculpture, a highly decorative piece whose presence captures the eye and enhances the space in which it is located. This spectacular piece, which conveys profound emotion, is the work of Kazuhiko Sato.
Sato-san is a renowned Japanese ceramicist born in 1947 in Fujisawa (Kanagawa Prefecture), and graduated from the prestigious ceramics department of the Tokyo University of the Arts. He studied under Michi Kajimoto and Koichi Tamura, two renowned Japanese potters who are Living National Treasures.
Kazuhiko Sato's work has been presented in major exhibitions and galleries around the world (London, New York, Sydney, etc.), including many solo exhibitions, and he has won numerous awards for his remarkable work.
For this tsubo (jar) style sculpture-vase, he used a combination of Shigaraki and Seto clays with quartz inclusions, which he shaped by hand with an extremely complicated personal technique, which gives the surface its rough, sandy side and this form that is both organic and very balanced. A work of contemporary art accentuated by the abstract lines in contrasting hues while being timeless and deeply Japanese.
This vase-sculpture is signed at its base “SATOH” (Kazuhiko Sato’s usual signature) and 1982, the year of its creation, in Roman letters. It comes with a protective tatō-bako box in cardboard covered with washi paper, signed by the artist.
To appreciate the size of this unique piece, which is also very heavy, a video has been added to the photo carousel.

KNOW-HOW
Japanese ceramics, born more than 10,000 years ago, are a dialogue between earth and fire, a quest for harmony through imperfection.
With a wide variety of high-quality raw materials, such as rich clays and natural glazes, each region has developed its own techniques, reflecting the identity of its terroir.
Hand-crafted, these vases, made using the most precious Japanese ceramic techniques, bear the imprint of a master craftsman who is the heir to a thousand-year-old tradition. This living art embodies the essence of Japan, where history and nature unite in beauty.
Although deeply rooted in tradition, these exceptional Japanese ceramic vases, signed by very big names, have a resolutely contemporary spirit while preserving their authenticity, incredibly decorative and wonderfully timeless sculptural pieces.
