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 techniques, pioneering unique fields such as Onishino and Oniiga. This is an outstanding work by Tsukigata Nahiko, one of the most eccentric contemporary potters, and has been featured frequently on NHK. This work is an Oniiga piece, named after the most famous "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.
