A sake cup (chokou) with a bronze-inspired expression that gives off a sense of wabi-sabi. The shape is unique, with conical protrusions appearing on a spherical curve.

The SPIKY series dares to approach the flat modern way of looking at things with a sense of foreignness. Its distinctive shape is as if it refuses to be picked up.

The protrusions that spread out in a radial pattern visualize and touch the power inherent in things. The work is a powerful expression, as if the power hidden within bursts to the surface.

Ceramics are a traditional craft that has been cultivated over a long history. Koga intends to give a fresh surprise to those who hold it by providing a formative stimulus.
