Kato Gosuke 加藤五輔
(1839 – 1905)
He comes from a family of ceramic artists, now in the 5th generation.



加藤五輔（一八三七－一九一五年）(1837 - 1915)
は名工として誉れ高く、多治見の市之倉にあった五輔の窯は、染め付けの細密画という、髪の毛よりも細い線を多用した絵付けを得意としていた。曲面をなす磁器の素地に描いていくのであるから、並大抵のことではないが、その絵をみると、動物も植物も、繊細な筆致によって生き生きとした表情に仕上がっている。

むろん海外での評価が高く、明治九（一八七六）年にフィラデルフィア万国博覧会に出品された作品は、現在、イギリス屈指の名門、ヴィクトリア・アンド・アルバート美術館に収蔵されている。また、同十一（一八七八）年のパリ万博では銅賞を受けて、その地位を確固たるものとした。当時はジャポニスムの全盛期であり、細やかな絵付けをみた欧米人たちの感嘆の声が聞こえてきそうである。

Mino ceramic artist from Gifu.



Mino ware, Japan made 1875

The glassy quality of the glaze and the vibrant hue of the blue found on this cup and saucer are typical of late nineteenth-century porcelains from Mino, which is located to the northeast of Nagoya in central Japan.
Kato Gosuke was a renowned painter of birds and flowers who went on to win several awards at the 1878 Paris Exposition Universelle. The cup and saucer were part of a group of over 200 ceramics bought on behalf of the V&A by the Japanese Exposition commissioners with funds provided by Philip Cunliffe-Owen, an ardent Japanophile who was director of the V&A from 1874 to 1893. The instructions sent to the commissioners were that they should ‘make an historical collection of porcelain and pottery from the earliest period until the present time, to be formed in such a way as to give fully the history of the art.’

His artwork at Yahata Kumano Shrine Ichinokura
It’s not a big place, and very old, but it is quiet there and just a quick walk down the hill from our house. And like so many old Shinto shrines, it has its art treasures…but you have to look for them. In this case, the ceiling of a small, auxiliary building is where you can find the treasures…



treasures more than 150 years old, some by our local National Art Treasure, Kato Gosuke IV (1839–1905) and all by local artists who long ago lived in Ichinokura and who have passed on . All one has to do is walk up the time-worn wooden stairs and look up. Some of the paintings are so old that they have faded them almost beyond recognition, but if you look closely. . .
