GIFU - Famed Japanese ceramic artist and Japanese Living National
Treasure Takuo Kato died of pneumonia at a hospital in Tajimi in Gifu
Prefecture on Tuesday morning, his family said. He was 87.
Kato was a leading figure in the restoration of Persian lusterware
ceramics that had disappeared around the 16th to 17th centuries and
also in the restoration of three-color glaze ceramics, the oldest
Japanese pottery technique developed in the Nara Period (710-794).
