seto pottery
Third generation kiln owner who manufactured ceramics under the name of Yohachi from the late Edo period into the Meiji. His predecessors focused mainly on ceramics, but starting in the 8th year of Bunka (1811), Yohachi requested a stock of dyed porcelain, which he began to produce in Seto throughout the rest of the Edo period. He exhibited at the Philadelphia Expo in 1876 and displayed dyed bonsai pots at the first Domestic Expo in 1877, receiving an award. In the end, it seems that his ceramics activity finished in 1908. Master Seto craftsman Kato Yutaro was his younger brother.
