Kazuji Sato Profile "Soil is the treasure of the potter, Mino is a mountain of treasures, the mountain that fulfilled the dream of Oribe, I want to be in the mountains of Mino, dreaming." Born in 1948, he studied under Kotaro Hayashi of Shino. He experienced traditional Momoyama pottery and opened the Sawarabi Kiln in 1977. His motto is to enjoy food and sake, and he highly values the tableware of Rosanjin Kitaoji, an artist known as a gourmet. Mr. Sato's commitment is to use "Gotomaki soil," the unique soil of Mino, and further blend it with Shigaraki soil, which has plasticity and hardens when fired. For the glaze, he layers Oribe glaze, ash, feldspar, and copper. The firing is done at 1230 degrees Celsius in an oxidizing flame, and the pottery, born over time, each exudes a unique landscape.
