Devoted to the spirit of pottery creation of the great masters of Mino. Praised as the "Fiery Potter", he has created a sensation in modern Mino pottery with his unique worldview and technique, pioneering unique fields such as Onishino and Oni-Iga. This is an outstanding work by Tsukigata Nahiko, one of the most unorthodox contemporary potters, and has been featured frequently on NHK. This piece is the most famous work by Onishino, named after the character "Oni" (demon) when talking about Tsukigata Nahiko.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a supreme masterpiece that combines many charms for enjoying a work of art, such as the bold shape, the excellent firing, and the changes in the glaze. It is rough and bold, yet easy to handle and has a warmth that is the very essence of his ceramic sense. It can be said to be the artistic gift of Nahiko Tsukigata, who was inspired by ancient Momoyama pottery, devoted to Toyozo Arakawa, and devoted himself to the path of ceramic art.
