Fujimori Mug Set for Kato Kogei Ceramics Post-Modern Alpha 3 Memphis Japan 1980s

About the Item

Founded during the Meiji era as a glass-making company in Nishi-ku, Nagoya, Kato made a name for itself by manufacturing cutting-edge designs, of which post-modern service is a prime example. You cannot get more 80s than this. Fujimori was born in Japan in 1935 and graduated from college in 1956, where he majored in oil painting and design. At age 19, he won the National Art Award, which was followed by a string of awards throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, including the Grand Prix at the Nitten Exhibition (a major Japanese art organization) in 1980. After working as a ceramics designer in Chicago, he returned to Japan in 1963 and became a freelance designer for companies in Nagoya. As the Art Director for Kato Kogei Ceramics, a major supplier of fine ceramics to the international market, Fujimori oversaw the design and distribution of his signature line. Each mug is 4 3/4" x 3" x 4 1/2" tall.
