By Appointment is best. You might get lucky just popping by, but a great deal of the month I am out visiting artists or scouring up new items, so days in the gallery are limited.

Perfect for the humble entrance of a tea room, an orthodox wall vase by legendary Atarashi Kanji enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Iga Tabi-makura Kake-Hanaire (Travel Pillow Hanging Vase). It is 10.5 cm (4 inches) diameter, 17 cm (6-1/2 inches) tall and in excellent condition.
Atarashi Kanji was born in Osaka in 1944, and graduated the Osaka College of Craft design. After 3 years in Kobe, and 4 in Kishiwada (Wakayama) he came to settle in Iga, where he was one of the driving forces behind the resurrection and preservation of the Iga tradition. Although displayed at the National Craft Fair, he prefers the intimacy of the private exhibition, of which he holds several every year. And if ones visit to Japan is not timed right for an exhibition, he can otherwise be found at his kiln working along with his son Manabu.
