Katsura Morihito 桂盛仁 Japanese
Not on view
This early work exemplifies the tour-de-force inlay techniques of Katsura Morihito. The inverted V-shaped patterns seem to overlap on the hammered silver and copper alloy body. The artist studied under his father, Katsura Moriyuki, beginning in 1960, and later graduated from the Musashino Art University Junior College of Art and Design. Known for his incising and chiseling (chōkin) techniques, he was designated a Living National Treasure in 2008.
