 | | Kato's style of "Japanese Style Painting" is rather unique, in that, although it is derived from the foundation of "Yamato-e," which was developed in the 10th century from the influence of imported Chinese style painting, it, in fact, goes beyond the category of both Japanese style and Western style painting. |
 | | Kato's present contemporary style uses a medium of powdered mineral pigments, Japanese papers, silk cloth, Indian ink, metallic leaves and acrylic paints, etc.; thus, following the school of Yamato-e. |
 | | Nevertheless, Kato's own developed style is derived from pure Japanese Style Painting, presenting a simple structure, while, at the same time, both impact and hidden power can be felt. |
