Born in 1942, Kato Yaemon is a prominent potter in Gifu, continuing the legacy of the Kato family, renowned as descendants of the Mino pottery master, Kato Kagetoyo. Yaemon studied under his father, Kato Juemon, a recognized Gifu Prefecture Intangible Cultural Property holder. He established the Okaya Kiln next to the historic Yashichida Old Kiln in Ogaya, where many famous ceramics were fired during the Momoyama period. His work reflects the rich tradition and innovation of Mino ware.
