Akio Nukaga's website English version opened.
SCHEDULE:One-man exhibition will be in October and December.

  Welcome to my website.

I am Akio Nukaga, Kasama's ceramic artist. I am mainly producing dishes/tableware and flower vases of KOHIKITETSU-YUU (iron glaze)、and HAKUJI.I work hard at making simple shaped and heart warming textured bowls.

The bowls that I am making have an original and unique texture feeling that is created SABIKOHIKI and GOMAKOHIKI in the kind of KOHIKI.SABIKOHIKI was given its name since red small spots that express tastefully austere like an iron rust. Also, GOMAKOHIKI was since the iron powder in the foundation appears to be goma (sesame). Moreover, through NAGASHIKAKEHAKEMETETSUSAI. I am looking for various ways to express the clay.HAKUJI is used semi-porcelain clay for base and is made a bit thicker. Essentially, I aim at working towards creating simple designs.

Please enjoy my art pieces on this website.

I would like to add that Kasama, where I live, is 30 minutes from Mashiko city by car. Although it is a small area, it is a prominent place of production for ceramics, and probably there are 200 to 300 ceramic artists. Annually, from 5/1 through 5/5, all ceramic artists from this area gather in a festival called "HIMATSURI". Please visit us if you have any chance.

Moreover, I am very apologetic that this website does not accept orders for ceramics pieces. Thank you for your understanding.
