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.

A set of five incredible square dishes by Koga Kenji washed as if by the dark tide with blue crowned with white washing over the earth-toned clay enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Chossen Karatsu Shi-ho Sara. Each dish is roughly 11 cm (4-1/4 inches) square and in perfect condition, directly from the artist.
Koga Kenji was born in Fukuoka in 1936, but did not start potting until much later in life, at the age of 38. He opened his own kiln in 1991, exhibiting with the prefectural exhibition the following year. Not a competitive person, eh ahs concentrated on private exhbitions, of which he has had many. His work is humble and easy to use true to that vein of the unknown craftsman of Mingei lore.
