她在海內外獲取了不同獎項，包括在2016年於Ceramica Multiplex 2016(克羅地亞)獲得銀獎；她亦在2015年獲得「庄六賞茶盌展」的「庄六賞」，成為48年來第一位獲取此項殊榮的女姓。

Mami KATO studied English and American literature at Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Arts in Kyoto, then went on to hone her ceramic skills at the Tokoname City Ceramic Art Institute, and was later apprenticed to Asako Watanabe in the Aichi Prefecture. Since then she has had over 25 solo exhibitions in Japan and numerous group shows abroad. Her sculptural bowl forms take her all over the globe for exhibitions, demonstrations and workshops, and her works are in public and private collections in Japan and internationally.

She has received several awards, including Silver Medal at Kerameikon Ceramica Multiplex 2016 (Croatia). In 2015, Mami Kato won the biennial Shoroku Chawan Competition—the first time it was awarded to a female artist in its 48-year of history.
