Shofu Kajo who is better known by his artist name Shofu Katei also signed his pieces Shofu-tei.

He is most famous for the Nippon decoration style called moriage, slip enamel decoration.  His unique moriage decoration appears like applied work or raised relief work. 

Shofu Katei, a potter of Kyomizu, came thither, in 1850, from Owari, of which province he was a native. His original name was Kito Kajuro, but when settling in Kyoto he called himself Katei, and assumed the art name of Shofu-tei. He did not distinguish himself for originality. The only point to be noted with reference to his faience is that, being an ardent devotee and student of Buddhism, his decorative motives were often of a religious character, as, for example, the Shichi-fuku-jin, the Jugo Ddji, the "Juroku Rakan, the Rishi, and so forth. The first Shofu-tei was succeeded by his son, of the same name, in 1864, who still carries on the industry with considerable success (Brinkley ©1901).
