Size: 12”H x 5.5”W x 4.75”D

Seiko Kato Behr was born in Osaka Japan, raised and educated in Tokyo, and completed her pottery studies under Japanese Master Potter Teruo Hara, and became a private student of Master Shino Artist, Kozo Kato (no relationship) in Tajimi, Japan.

Seiko’s focus had been to create container forms which provided attractive foundations for ikebana arrangements, while standing alone as sculptural pieces. She was inspired by the world around her in creating shapes that nature, architecture, and her environment supplied. Her original works of art have been featured in major exhibits in Tokyo and Nagoya Japan, the Smithsonian Institute, Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Flower Show, and the National Arboretum.

Seiko received an award in the Second Sogetsu International Container Competition in Tokyo in 1993 and shared top honors, taking the Judges’ Choice Award in the final competition in 1996. In 2007 she was featured in a one-man Exhibition of Sculptures, Installations, and Containers at The Academy Art Museum in Easton, Maryland.
