AWARDS

The “Commendation Award” for the “Circles of Life” Horsehair Plate at the International Ceramics Competition Mashiko 2008.
But there was a mix-up. They chose this plate, but they put the “Arsia Caldera” in the exposition with the under-title “Circles of Life”. So, I consider both accepted.

The “Honorable Mention” Award for the “Cosmos” Horsehair Plate at the Mino International Ceramics Competition 2008.

The “Special Judges’ Award” for the “Four Seasons” Horsehair Vase at the International Ceramic Arts Competition Mashiko 2006.
