The Hong Kong ceramics studio presented new works — including a floral silver alcohol lamp — at Leafmania Tokyo (Mar 21–28), and hosted two live tea ceremony sessions in collaboration with Japanese ikebana artist Mario Hirama (平間磨理夫).
A dedicated exhibition page on Leafmania's site for 2024 confirms the studio has an ongoing solo show partnership with the Tokyo-based teaware gallery.

Toki Nashiki is a Hong Kong-based ceramics practice — described in their own words as 'Hong Kong ceramists' — that has been producing handcrafted teaware since 2016. Operating under the studio identity 梨木製陶所 (Nashiki Ceramics Studio), the practice centers on East Asian tea culture, producing functional and aesthetic objects including teaware and ritual pieces such as flower-form silver-lustre alcohol lamps designed for traditional tea settings. Their content is documentary in tone: captions in Traditional Chinese walk followers through exhibition openings, tea ceremony events, and the cultural research that shapes each body of work. A 2026 exhibition circuit spanning Tokyo (in collaboration with floral artist Mario Hirama at Leafmania), Seoul, and Hong Kong signals a deliberately regional profile, positioning them at the intersection of craft, living culture, and cross-border arts programming.
Despite a micro-tier following, Toki Nashiki's engagement rate sits meaningfully above the category median, reflecting a tightly self-selected audience of craft enthusiasts, tea culture practitioners, and collectors — predominantly women aged 18 to 44 based across Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Malaysia. The bilingual (Cantonese and Traditional Chinese) content skews toward depth over reach: long-form captions discuss language barriers at overseas tea ceremonies and the nuances of incense culture alongside ceramics, signaling an audience that engages rather than just scrolls. Their expanding gallery partnerships and willingness to integrate incense and ikebana programming suggest a trajectory toward recognized artist status within the East Asian craft circuit, making them a natural fit for cultural institutions, specialty teaware retailers, lifestyle hospitality brands, and craft-forward retailers seeking credibility with Chinese-speaking audiences across Greater China and the diaspora.
Toki_Nashiki reaches an audience concentrated in Hong Kong primarily through Instagram, and is best activated via Instagram Reels and Stories. As an art creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. With no brand deals logged yet, they read as an available, category-aligned partner for advertisers building early presence in the space. Engagement on Instagram runs around 2.6%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. Their Instagram-first format lends itself to integrations that sit inside the creator's usual content rather than running as standalone ads. Because the audience follows art content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For Hong Kong-focused brands in art and related categories, Toki_Nashiki offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.

Toki_Nashiki is a Hong Kong ceramics studio focused primarily on teaware and tea-culture objects, but their work extends to decorative pieces like their signature flower-shaped silver-luster alcohol lamp (花型銀彩酒精燈). These lamps are designed to pair with traditional wind-furnace water-boiling setups and double as atmospheric mood pieces. The studio has been producing handmade ceramics since 2016.
Yes — hosting live tea ceremonies (茶會) is central to how Toki_Nashiki presents work at overseas shows. Rather than displaying pieces behind glass, they invite visitors to use and experience the teaware firsthand, even across language barriers. Their Seoul and Tokyo solo exhibitions both featured these ceremony events as part of the opening programme.
梨木製陶所 is the studio name behind the Toki_Nashiki Instagram account — it appears in their exhibition titles and announcements as the official creative entity. Based in Hong Kong and operating since 2016, the studio describes itself as a collective of ceramists rather than a single artist. The Instagram handle Toki_Nashiki serves as their public-facing identity across social media.
Toki_Nashiki has a three-city solo exhibition schedule for 2026: Tokyo at Leafmania Tokyo in March, Seoul at _eeum gallery in June, and Hong Kong at Gallery Tete in September. Each show typically features new works created specifically for that exhibition, accompanied by live tea ceremony events open to visitors.
At their March 2026 Tokyo solo exhibition, Toki_Nashiki collaborated with Japanese Ikebana artist 平間磨理夫 (@mariohira) to stage a combined tea-and-flower ceremony called 茶花會. The event was held in two sessions — one in natural afternoon light and a second at dusk inside the tea room — with Leafmania Tokyo facilitating the cross-cultural partnership.
Yes, Toki_Nashiki runs ceramics courses with enrolment information linked directly from their Instagram bio. Their teaching extends beyond standard wheel-throwing to include culturally specific workshops tied to tea culture and incense culture. The studio treats ceramics education as part of a broader mission to preserve and share traditional East Asian cultural practices.
Toki_Nashiki's 香文化 (incense culture) course series covers crafting agarwood incense sticks (沉香線香), making hand-built ceramic incense holders, and experiencing traditional incense ceremonies (香席). The studio positions incense culture alongside tea culture as a smaller, lesser-known practice that deserves the same attention and craft. Students engage with both the ceramic object-making and the ritual context behind it.
The 花型銀彩酒精燈 is a flower-shaped ceramic alcohol lamp finished in a silver-luster glaze, created by Toki_Nashiki for their 2026 Tokyo exhibition. Functionally it is designed to work with a traditional wind-furnace (風爐) for heating water in a tea ceremony setting. It can also be used purely as a decorative atmosphere lamp, making it one of the more versatile pieces in their tea-object range.
Toki_Nashiki is based in Hong Kong, where the studio was founded in 2016. Their audience is concentrated in Hong Kong and across Chinese-speaking communities in Taiwan and Malaysia, which reflects the cultural resonance of their tea-culture and traditional craft focus in the wider Sinophone world.
Toki_Nashiki sits in the Micro tier on Instagram, with a following in the low tens of thousands — modest in scale but notably tight-knit. Their engagement rate runs well above the category median for Instagram artists, which signals an audience that is genuinely interested in the ceramics and cultural content rather than passive scrollers.
