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.

This large blossom by Nakazato Hiroko is covered in earthy pastel colors, rising to a voluptuous crescendo of petals. She says:
I am strongly attracted to the objects created by nature.
A lush plant that grows day by day, especially from early spring to early summer.
The expansion of form from bud to flower and the beautiful colors that spread inside...
In recent years, I have felt a strong vitality in these things,
Through the medium of ceramics, I strive to express this feeling the possibility.
It is 25 x 32.5 x 36 cm (10 x 13 x 14 inches) and is in excellent condition, directly from the artist and comes with a signed wooden placard.
