Nobuhiko Tanaka’s "Hai-Kohiki" is a series of vessels that possesses a profound depth of expression. By mixing sand into porcelain, he creates a raw, rugged texture, which is then layered with white slip and a wood-ash glaze to produce a delicate web of fine crackles. The charm of these pieces lies in their unique presence—a seamless coexistence of the rustic warmth of earthenware and the refined, dignified aura of porcelain.

The Hisago (gourd-shaped) vase leaves a lasting impression with its soft, organic curves reminiscent of a bottle gourd. It gracefully accentuates a single flower or a minimalist branch, adding a gentle, welcoming accent to any space.
