Tetsuaki's work

The master who created the Galaxy Glaze.
This is where the whole story began.

Although it is now a posthumous work,
The light entrusted to the stars of the galaxy,
It continues to shed light on people today.

A wish entrusted to the Galaxy Glaze

The Galaxy Glaze was like a wish entrusted to countless stars.

 

Whenever guests come, the conversation shifts from pottery to the world.

The way he spoke freely, crossing the barriers of knowledge, was truly an adventure across the galaxy.

To me, his son, he is more than just a potter; he is a philosopher and a thinker.

The Galaxy Glaze was a crystallization of the life of a man named Nakao Tetsuaki.

Leftover dough

In fact, there is still a lot of undone dough left at the workplace.

The marks of Nakao Tetsuaki's fingers are still clearly visible there.

 

But I can't fire it right now.

 

These shapes can never be recreated.

At present, our success rate for the Galaxy Glaze is at best around 20%.

Someday, when it gets closer to 100 and I might take this risk, they will reborn again.

Only a portion is on sale

This is works by Nakao Tetsuaki, available in limited numbers.

We want to treasure them, so we will be selling them little by little.

Naturally, many of the items must be kept as examples for the next generation, so please understand that only a small portion will be available for sale.

We don’t have any products to show here right now.
