Nakao Tetsuakifs ceramic art has been highly recognized by museums and exhibitions around the world. He owns a kiln in Arita, on Kyushu Island in Japan, in a region widely known for its tradition and history of Japanese ceramics. He has continued to create unique ceramics, using his original glaze and techniques. In recent years, his work has been highly recognized, especially in Europe, and has achieved numerous awards.

Following is the message from Mr. Nakao himself:
From the time of Ancient Orient Civilization, thousands of years ago, mankind has believed that the stars in the sky hold our fate and future.
As a result of more than 10 years of research, I have created a new glaze that reminds us of the innumerable stars in space. It has been named gGalaxy glaze.h
I respect gloveh and gfreedomh, and thus when I created my Galaxy glaze wares,

I hoped these items would carry my ideals of gloveh and gfreedomh into the future.
In the stressful and chaotic world today, I wish for my Galaxy glazed wares to cast a stream of light into the future.
