This is one of Koga's most ambitious works. In this work, ``protrusions'' are placed not only on the outside of the vessel, but also on the inside, as if refusing to be picked up or drunk.

The SPIKY series dares to approach the flat modern way of looking at things with a sense of foreignness.

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 the person who holds it by providing a formative stimulation to it.
