The ceramic and porcelain work by Japanese artist Hayashi Shigeki is really impressive. He took tradition Japan ceramic art works to another level. He hand made, oven bake each piece.

Hayashi Shigeki, from Tajimi City, draws inspiration for his ceramic figures from images from science fiction, animated film and Japanese comic books known as manga?all of which have attracted him since he was a child. He comes from a region of Japan famous for the production of porcelain domestic ware, and he says "In order to express my ideas as art, I have found that porcelain is the best medium. However, I do not think of my works as ceramic pieces."
