Komatsuka Nae, a talented Japanese artist

Kanae Miyazaki, aka Komatsuka Nae, is a Japanese ceramics maker, but also a multitalented artist, gifted in drawings and painting too. She has specialized in representing birds, and that it not surprising her workshop is called Penguin Porcelain, and her office Parakeet Communication.
Komatsuka Nae produces many different things, including table ware decorated with funny penguins, but also... nose flutes! She is notably the creator of a funny and beautiful "japanese penguin" character, and made nose flutes representing it.



Here is an auto-portrait she made, showing her making a nose flute :



She could stop here, but she also created little nests or boxes for her hanabue, and draw mangas featuring the "Okan-khamen" character — a parrot wearing a pharaoh's suit – nose flute.




I cannot publish here all the Komatsuka Nae's production, so, I invite you to visit her blog, and notably those pages, which chronologically show the Okan-khamen nose flute adventures! :
