After working in advertising design, he went to Sweden in 1970 and studied under Greta Myrsil at the ceramics department of the Nikelviks Art School. In 1973, he studied glass and ceramics at the Swedish National University of Arts. In 1976, he built the Gokyo Kiln in Echizen Ceramic Village, Fukui Prefecture, and in 1992, he established the Karin-do Kiln. His works include the "Forest Series," which features hollowed-out clay, intersecting straight lines and circles, and geometric (Ainu-inspired) patterns, as well as the "Spring Whistle" series, which features small bird-like figures with sharp eyes and gentle expressions. These works evoke a unique, deep, and rich spirituality and the expression of primal energy. 〜☆〜〜☆〜〜☆〜 ◉ "Shigeru Sato of Echizen is from Akita Prefecture. He went to Sweden at a young age and studied glass and clay modeling. Perhaps because of this, Swedish craft philosophy seems to be at the core of his work. On the other hand, he also possesses a Northern sensibility that can be described as Jomon-esque and Ainu-esque. These two elements are mixed to create the decorative Sato ceramics. As a ceramic sculpture, it is characterized by the "carving" technique.
