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 pointed tower in burnt gray clay by Mihara Ken enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Seki Kaki. Three slabs curvaceously rise to an unconventional horn, slotted on one side to accept a flower. A single camellia blossom in rich red, a few green leaves pitted against the gray body in the dark corner of a Tea Room would be incredible. It is 36.5 cm (14-1/2 inches) tall and in fine condition.
Mihara Ken was born in Shimane prefecture in 1958, and apprenticed under Funaki Kenji at the age of 23. He has been exhibited and or prized at the All Japan Ceramic Exhibition (Nihon Togei Ten), Asahi Ceramic Exhibition, the National Traditional Crafts Exhibition (Nihon Dento Kogei Ten) as well as the Tanabe Museum Chanoyu no Zokei Ten (Modern tea forms Sculpture Exhibition). He has displayed in both Europe and America and is held in the permanent collection of the Tanabe Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art among many others.
