The Silver Week festival is back!
Back in the day,
When Tetsuaki Nakao was alive,
Under the name "Galaxy Glaze Pottery Experience," we opened the Tamahogama kiln for three days and allowed everyone to freely create their own pieces.
They were holding an event where they fired pottery using Galaxy glaze.
This time, we won't be bringing back the "pottery experience," but...
We're bringing back the excitement of that day in the form of a mini pottery fair!

Retrospective of Tetsuaki Nakao

The creator of Galaxy Glaze,

Ceramic artist Tetsuaki Nakao passed away in March of this year.

We would like to hold a retrospective exhibition to allow people to see the extraordinary works he has produced so far, along with his life story.

Long before he became a potter,

This is the story of a young man who aspired to be a scholar, but instead chose to work with clay, and passed through the unknown era before Galaxy Glaze, eventually coming to infuse his pottery with "galaxies."

And that dream continues to this day.

Our store in Arita is now open!

These popular coffee cups and saucers, which have been a continuous challenge since their first appearance at the spring pottery fair, are back! In addition to the classic flower shape, there's a new cone-shaped design. We'll see how they turn out after firing!

Things I made and accumulated during the summer

These are some of the pieces I've been working on this summer. I heard there's a new piece with a sea theme that wasn't finished in time for summer...

Enter the world of Galaxy Glaze

"Since thousands of years in the ancient Orient,

People have believed that the stars in the night sky predict human destiny and future.

Over a decade of research,

When the glaze that evokes the countless stars in outer space was created,

I named this "Galaxy Glaze."
