江戸切子桜祭り 2022（Edo Kiriko Sakura Festival）

Beauty lives in the simplicity of its outer visageHoriguchi Kiriko, founded in 1921, is the foundation of Horiguchi Glass, and continues to carry on the traditions and techniques. Ms. Sena Misawa, who was impressed by the works of Mr. Toru Horiguchi, the representative of the company, and knocked on the door of the company while she was still a university student, is also Mr. Horiguchi's first apprentice. The simple yet highly original expression of this work is unintentionally fascinating. She was inspired by the way the bark of a tree peels off in part, creating a simple yet attractive pattern.

Under the moonlight, the lines and surface weave a fantasy worldShiina Glass, which has been in Kiyosumi Shirakawa, east of the Sumida River, for three generations, is a long-established downtown business that has been handed down from generation to generation based on the Shiina Glass Works founded by the founder, Mitsuo Shiina, in 1950. The third generation, Yasuyuki Shiina, created "Moon," which is clad in a creative aura and light. The vase, whose middle sphere resembles the moon, changes its expression depending on the viewer and the angle from which it is viewed. I hope you enjoy the way the yellow moon moves up and down," he says.

Three shades of blue waver and melt together, the ultramarine glistens with the drifting of the wavesRyoko Nakamiya, who was certified as a traditional craftsman in 2019, studied at Shimizu Glass, which was established in 1923, before becoming independent in 2021. She established "Nakamiya Faceted Glass Studio" in Higashi-Shinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. The "Sea," with its beautiful soft light created by hand-polishing, represents the sea of Cornwall that Mr. Nakamiya saw when he traveled to England in the past. The original glass was layered with three colors: blue, green, and light blue. The cut reflects and refracts the light so that the darkest color at the bottom lifts upward and the colors overlap beautifully."

Two sides bearing KIKUTSUNAGI, evoke the shape of the moon, signifying a sense of dualityHoriguchi Glass, founded by Ichio Horiguchi in 1921, is the foundation of Horiguchi Glass, which continues to carry on tradition and technology. Mikinori Okuhara joined the company in 2017 and started his career in Edo faceting. He is one of the up-and-coming artists of the moment. He created the "Decorative Plate - Crescent Moon". The motif of the crescent moon is inspired by the words, "I dream of perfection (full moon). The motif of the crescent moon represents the idea of "dreaming of perfection (full moon) and accepting imperfection (lack of moon). The most distinctive feature is that cuts are made on both the front and back sides of the fabric.
