Ishii was a pioneer who infused Western glass crafts with a uniquely Japanese sensibility.

Within the frosted, matte glass surface, gold leaf and colored glass particles are trapped like a life form drifting in the water. When light hits them, they reveal a delicate and brilliant expression evocative of tentacles glowing within a body. The curves formed by thin white glass lines resemble the trajectory of life emerging from the darkness of the deep sea, and combined with the soft texture unique to hand-blown glass, they create a depth that is truly one-of-a-kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eKoji Ishii is widely recognized for revolutionizing the Japanese packaging design industry with his 1985 silhouette bottle design for Sanwa Shurui's Iichiko, but his true value resides in his one-of-a-kind artistic creations. His works are housed in major museums both in Japan and abroad, including the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and the Aomori Museum of Art. It is not uncommon for even small pieces to be valued around 80,000 yen, while his medium-to-large masterpieces often exceed 1 million yen. Since his sudden passing in 1996 at the age of 50, no new works have been produced, making a stately, large-scale beer mug like this one an extremely rare find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe tall, dignified form, the substantial construction with a weighted base, and the meticulous finish of the rim all convey the artist's advanced skill and passion.

It brings together the works of Miyanaga Rikichi, Yanagihara Mutsuo, and Morino Taimei—masters who led the golden age of \"Sodeisha,\" the legendary avant-garde art group that rejected the concept of practical vessels and elevated ceramics into the realm of pure contemporary art known as \"Objets-yaki\" (sculptural ceramics). Among these three pieces, the work by Morino Taimei, a Person of Cultural Merit and a member of the Japan Art Academy, is crafted from hand-blown glass, which is extremely unusual for a ceramic artist. This highly rare and precious piece symbolizes Sodeisha's core philosophy of \"liberating art from the preconceived notions of materials.\" You can fully appreciate the wondrous paradox where the avant-garde aesthetic of dismantling and reconstructing tradition is confined within the miniature frame of a palm-sized sake cup. When savoring a precious Japanese whiskey, why not enjoy it from a glass born of the same homeland where their passion still breathes?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtists:\u003c\/b\u003e Miyanaga Rikichi, Yanagihara Mutsuo, Morino Taimei\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"60\"\u003eEra of Production:\u003c\/b\u003e 1980s–1990s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"91\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Very good (no chips, no cracks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"134\"\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/b\u003e Original box included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"169\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Ceramic, hand-blown glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"205\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height approx. 6.5 cm, diameter approx. 5.5 cm each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"269\"\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Even if the products we offer are new and unused, they are all listed as second-hand products because they were produced very long ago.

There, he engaged with Peter Voulkos and others. After returning to Japan, he garnered attention as a sculptor through exhibitions such as the \"Trends in Contemporary Art\" exhibition and became a member of the Sodeisha group in 1971. While possessing a background in the highest traditions of celadon techniques from the prestigious \"Miyanaga Tozan\" lineage, he developed organic and sculptural avant-garde forms that eliminated utility. By expressing the inherent vitality and tension of clay as a raw material, he powerfully embodied Sodeisha's vision of \"breaking away from the beauty of utility.\" He received the Kyoto Prefecture Order of Cultural Merit in 1998 and inherited the title of Miyanaga Tozan III in 1999.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eYanagihara Mutsuo (Born 1934)\u003c\/b\u003e A ceramic artist from Kochi Prefecture, he studied at the Kyoto City University of Arts and studied under Kenkichi Tomimoto.

In contrast to the avant-garde ceramics of the time, which tended to favor stoic, monochrome tones, he injected brilliant color expressions using gold and silver luster glazes and vivid primary colors. Through his experience living in the United States, he pursued a sculptural beauty endowed with an international sensibility, opening up a new horizon of the \"liberation of color\" for Sodeisha's avant-garde objects.

To express these three forms of \"shuku\" (celebration), Hisatoshi specially designed this piece using three colors: the pure white symbolizing Hakuju, the luxurious gold telling of the half-century bond of the Golden Wedding Anniversary, and the red conveying the vitality of Kiju, thereby encapsulating Japanese culture and history within this small vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"27\"\u003eThe reason Hisatoshi Iwata's work is internationally acclaimed is due to his exceptional sense of color and the vitality of the material itself, brought out by the \"sora-fuki\" (free-blowing) technique, which involves shaping the glass in the air without a mold. In this work, the expression created by the fine gold particles and the diagonal red flowing patterns is powerful, as if capturing flames and passion, and the beautiful tapering form towards the base fits surprisingly comfortably in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"28\"\u003eHaving served as the founding president of the Japan Glass Art Association and received the Minister of Education Award at Nitten and the Japan Art Academy Prize, Hisatoshi reigned supreme in the postwar Japanese craft world.

This sake cup, carefully passed down along with its original wooden box (tomobako) bearing his signature and seal, is a crystallization of the \"Japanese beauty\" he pursued until the end.

Gold leaf is scattered across the clear glass, creating a fantastical reflection of the light between the red base and the gold leaf. The elegant design is both elegant and stable, combining aesthetic value with practicality. Sakata Jinnai was born in Tokyo in 1943, studied under Shoji Kamoda in 1964, and established his kiln in Kami-Oba, Mashiko Town, in 1966.

This vessel is an exquisite creation utilizing those traditional techniques. Because silver, which is a metal, and glass have vastly different melting points and thermal expansion coefficients, the task of completely integrating the two requires extremely advanced skill to overcome the risk of bursting or cracking from thermal shock. This work features an ingenious structure that overcomes this challenge by blowing glass into a silver framework shaped like a tree. The silver ornamentation is characterized by an organic texture with numerous perforations and a form resembling a powerful, undulating tree trunk, creating a fantastical beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThis piece is presumed to be an ambitious work from around the year 2000 (Heisei 12), a period of maturity in Kitamura's creative career during which he pursued the ultimate in technical fusion and decorativeness. The silver portion features a delicate design reminiscent of extending branches and leaves, evoking both the vitality of nature and a sense of tranquil beauty. When a drink is poured, light reflects through the intricate gaps in the silver, emitting a quiet radiance unlike any other. The expression of this light changes over time and projects various shadows depending on the viewing angle. The ability to appreciate the sophisticated craftsmanship of a Living National Treasure through an everyday vessel is one of this work's greatest charms. Fusions of glass with such complex silver motifs are rare even within Kitamura's body of work, making this a precious collector's item worthy of high acclaim for both its artistic and technical merit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eArtist: Kitamura Shinichi (1952-present)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eArtist's major activities: [2019] Certified as a holder of the Important Intangible Cultural Property \"Lost-wax casting (Rōgata)\" (Living National Treasure)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eProduction date: circa 2000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eCondition: Very good (no chips or cracks)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eAccessories: Dedicated box included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eMaterial: Silver, glass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eDimensions: height 7.5cm, diameter 5.5cm\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\" class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eSpecial note: As this is a silver product, discoloration due to oxidation of silver may occur.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003ePlease note: Even if the products we offer are brand new and unused, they are very old and are listed as second-hand items.

Even after his passing in 1996, he continues to receive enthusiastic praise from collectors around the world. This work, a Hand-blown Glass Gold-decorated Sake Cup, embodies the refined aesthetics of Ishii's prime from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, making it truly worthy of being called a masterpiece for the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe greatest appeal of Ishii's work lies in the tranquil and elegant texture of the frosted finish, evocative of the harsh winters of northern Japan. The lavish gold decoration that adorns the matte glass surface is more than just a superficial ornament; by contrasting it with the frosted texture, it exudes a profound brilliance that changes its expression depending on the angle of the light. Of particular note is the Musubi (knot) motif around the midsection. In Japanese culture, knots are considered sacred symbols that connect people and hearts. Expressing this in glass, which begins to harden the instant it is removed from the heat, requires extremely advanced craftsmanship. The way the glass curves, like unwavering brushstrokes, embrace the gold work is a true embodiment of Ishii's pursuit of the Japanese aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eFurthermore, the structure of a stemmed sake cup like this one is among the most difficult shapes to create in the field of glass art. During the hand-blown molding process, the thin stem is subjected to extreme thermal stress, often leading to breakage or distortion during the cooling stage. Completing such a piece requires extraordinary concentration and skilled technique. Ishii's signature engraved on the bottom is proof that it is an authentic work that has overcome this rigorous process and passed strict inspection. This sake cup, which has been carefully preserved along with its original box, goes beyond its function as a simple drinking vessel, conveying the passion and creative intensity that Koji Ishii poured into his glass every time it rests in the owner's hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eProduced by: Ishii Glass Studio Co., Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eArtist: Koji Ishii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eNotable Activities: [1979] Work exhibited at Japan New Face II and purchased by Her Imperial Highness Princess Chichibu; [1985] Designed the silhouette bottle for Sanwa Shurui's Iichiko and won a special prize at the Japan Package Design Competition; [1985] Won a special prize at the Seibu Crafts Grand Prize Exhibition; [1994] Held the solo exhibition Symphony of Light and Wind: GLASS Koji Ishii at the Narukawa Museum of Art in Hakone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eMajor Collections: The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Aomori Museum of Art; Chiba Prefectural Museum of Art; Toyama Glass Art Museum; Hida Takayama Museum of Art; Narukawa Art Museum (Hakone-Lake Ashi).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eProduction Era: Late 1980s to mid-1990s (estimated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eCondition: Very good (no chips or cracks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eAccessories: Original box and informational brochure included Material: Hand-blown glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eDimensions: Height approx. 10cm, Diameter approx. 6cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003ePlease note: Even if the products we offer are brand new and unused, they are vintage items from an older production era and are listed as second-hand.

Since the 1980s, Fujita has garnered extensive acclaim, receiving numerous prestigious honors including the Chiba Prefectural Exhibition Prize, the Bridgestone Museum of Art Prize at the 1996 Japan Glass Exhibition, and the Gold Medal—the highest honor—at the 2001 International Exhibition of Glass Kanazawa. His illustrious career is reflected in the inclusion of his works in the permanent collections of major domestic institutions such as the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and the Yokohama Museum of Art, as well as renowned international venues including the Ebeltoft Glass Museum in Denmark, the mudac (Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts) in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the São Paulo Museum of Art in Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThis hand-blown glass sake cup, measuring approximately 8.7 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height, was produced during Fujita’s highly productive period between 1995 and 1996. Its generous proportions represent a perfect harmony between functional utility and aesthetic splendor. Utilizing his signature hand-blowing technique, Fujita masterfully draws out the soft texture and fluid contours inherent to glass. A band of noble, radiant gold leaf is applied across the center, while the vibrant blue accent at the base provides a stunning contrast to the clear glass, evoking a sense of cool serenity and profound dignity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe technical brilliance of this piece lies in the artist's exceptional heat management, which allows glass and gold leaf—materials with vastly different thermal expansion coefficients—to be fused at the molecular level in a molten state exceeding 1,200°C. In hand-blown glass, any sudden temperature drop during the shaping process can cause the gold leaf to peel or induce internal structural tension; therefore, precise temperature programming in the annealing furnace is paramount. The flawless adhesion and brilliance of the gold leaf in this work testify to the perfection of this execution. Artistically, the ponte process used to join the colored base with the clear upper body achieves a sophisticated balance between deliberate intent and natural spontaneity, minimizing distortion while preserving the organic fluctuations of hand-blown glass. The gold leaf is not merely a surface adornment; it is strategically positioned to create multiple internal reflections as light penetrates the glass, bounces off the gold, and passes back through the vessel. This calculated interplay enables the coexistence of a heavy metallic luster and airy transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003ePresented in its original signed wooden box (tomobako) featuring the artist's signature and seal, and accompanied by a chronicle of his career, this piece is a complete and pristine example of Fujita’s artistry. His aesthetic has gained significant global recognition, including being featured in the scholarly journals of the Corning Museum of Glass in the United States. The acquisition of his work by the Japan Foundation and major museums worldwide is a tribute not only to its visual beauty but to its status as a symbol of the structural and technical perfection achieved by Japanese glass art at the close of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: Jun Fujita (b. 1951)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotable Achievements: [1988] Chiba Prefectural Exhibition Prize, [1996] Bridgestone Museum of Art Prize at the '96 Japan Glass Exhibition, [1999] Silver Award at the Japanese Contemporary Glass Exhibition in Notojima, [2001] Gold Award at the International Glass Exhibition Kanazawa\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublic Collections: The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e (MOMAT), \u003c\/span\u003eThe Japan Foundation, Yokohama Museum of Art, Glasmuseet Ebeltoft\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e (Denmark), \u003c\/span\u003emudac - Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e (Lausanne, Switzerland) \/, \u003c\/span\u003eSão Paulo Museum of Art\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e (MASP \/ Brazil),\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003eand others.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDate of Production: 1995–2000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Excellent (No chips or cracks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories: Original signed wooden box, artist's chronicle (shiori)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Hand-blown glass, gold leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: Diameter 8.7 cm, Height 6.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotice: While this item is in unused condition, it is a vintage piece produced many years ago and is therefore listed as second-hand.

A fantastical world unfolds within the transparent glass, as if the very life of a jellyfish drifting in the depths of the deep sea has been encapsulated.

Fine white glass lines depict the elegant movement of jellyfish and the trails they leave as they float in the darkness of the deep sea, adding dynamic elements and a sense of buoyancy to the piece.

Born in 1961, Yonehara majored in glass art at Tama Art University before honing his craft over many years at the studio of the world-renowned master Kyohei Fujita. Yonehara is a true doyen of contemporary glass, having established a stellar reputation both domestically and internationally, notably as the recipient of the 1st Kyohei Fujita Award from the Japan Glass Art Crafts Association and a silver prize at the International Glass Exhibition, Kanazawa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eThe most remarkable design feature of this work is the wrapped thread fiber pattern (line drawing) that delicately veils the surface. This effect is achieved through an advanced hot-work technique, where the artist skillfully manipulates molten glass to wrap fine threads at precise, equal intervals, intentionally sealing the pattern within the vessel. The refraction of light through the glass layers causes these encased fibers to intersect in a complex dance, creating a profound visual depth. This symbolizes the architectural and precise aesthetic Yonehara has pursued for decades, resulting in a level of perfection that transcends the functional to become a sculpture of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eThe most striking structural characteristic is the tripod form, reminiscent of the \"Ding,\" an ancient Chinese bronze vessel. The process of attaching three legs to a thinly and elegantly blown bowl while the glass is still incandescent requires a flawless sense of balance and masterful temperature control, allowing for no margin of error. The vessel's presence, appearing to hover slightly above the table, imparts a sense of prestige not found in ordinary glassware. It stands as an impeccably dignified vessel for enjoying aged sake or long-matured spirits, offering a sensory experience of the highest caliber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eHoused in major museums across the globe, Yonehara’s creations are one-of-a-kind art pieces that seamlessly blend a modern sensibility suited for contemporary living with the sublime techniques of traditional hand-blown glass.

This work is a masterpiece where Sakata's theme of the fusion of pottery and glass, which he pursued energetically in the 1990s, is beautifully realized through its sculptural beauty and superb technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe most astonishing feature of this work lies in the structure of its vivid red stem, which immediately captures the eye. This is not merely a solid block of red glass, but rather employs an advanced technique similar to filigrana—a traditional Venetian glass art form—where numerous extremely thin red glass rods are bundled together and twisted into shape. The texture created by this aggregation of countless lines is Sakata's expression in glass of the powerful, rhythmic Shinjinmon (Deeply Subtle Pattern) that he established in his black pottery works. When illuminated, the red lines intersect in multiple layers, emitting a complex and profound brilliance impossible with a single color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eIn contrast, the transparent bowl features the ice glass technique, with beautiful cracks spreading across its entire surface. This technique involves momentarily dipping hot blown glass into cold water to create fine cracks on the surface, then reheating and shaping it to produce a unique, ice-like texture. This serendipitous texture causes the irregularly placed gold leaf, known as Haku-ha-hari (foil-leaf glass), to diffusely reflect light, creating a fantastical prism when liquid is poured into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eFurthermore, the overwhelming scale of approximately 21 cm in height and 12 cm in rim diameter is exceptionally large for a hand-blown glass wine glass. To fire a work of this size with perfect control over cracks and distortions while maintaining a refined symmetry requires masterful control of fire and a profound understanding of gravity, truly demonstrating the artist's extraordinary skill. The handwritten signatures of Jin and Jinnai Sakata on only one of the two pieces serve as a testament to the artist's pride, indicating that these two pieces constitute a complete set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eStarting from orthodox pottery under the tutelage of the legendary potter Shoji Kamoda, Sakata boldly incorporated diverse materials such as glass and gold leaf, establishing craft as contemporary art. His glass works from the 1990s, in particular, document an important transitional period that led to his later dedications to Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine) and Izumo Taisha (Izumo Grand Shrine). Glass works created by potters possess a unique blend of earthy strength and decorative beauty not found in works by dedicated glass artists, and their presence in the market is extremely limited. These are supreme art pieces that not only brightly adorn everyday moments but also offer the joy of owning a fragment of Japan's modern craft history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/b\u003e Jinnai Sakata (1943–Present)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"37\"\u003eArtist's Representative Activities:\u003c\/b\u003e [2009] Invited artist at the 1st Shanghai International Ceramic Art Exhibition; [2013] Donated Shinjinmon Haku-ha-hari Magatama Large Plate \"Brilliance of Life\" for the Great Heisei Relocation of Izumo Taisha; [2013] Donated Black Pottery Shinjinmon Foil-Pressed Large Plate \"Homage to the Sun\" for the Shikinen Sengu of Ise Jingu; [2014] Donated Shinjinmon Foil-Glass Object \"Waannei\" to Atsuta Jingu; [2014] Donated a pair of Black Pottery Engraved Shinjinmon Foil-Pressed Ceramic Boxes \"Longevity\" to Kameoka Hachimangu (Mashiko Town).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"612\"\u003eProduction Period:\u003c\/b\u003e 1990s (Estimated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"649\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Very good (No chips, no cracks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"692\"\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"710\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/b\u003e Glass, Gold Leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"738\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height approx. 21 cm, Rim Diameter approx. 12 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"799\"\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e All products offered by our store, even if unused, are from very old production periods and are listed as used items.

This piece exemplifies the pinnacle of Sakata's intense exploration of the fusion of pottery and glass and decorative expression from the 1990s to the 2000s, condensing his representative sculptural philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe most significant design feature of this work is the sophisticated fusion of the Shinjinmon (Deeply Subtle Pattern), which is the artist's identity, and the Hakuha-hari technique, which encapsulates gold leaf within the glass. Shinjinmon originally refers to deep and mystical patterns created in pottery by rope patterns or imprints. In this work, however, it is redefined as a multi-layered and profound visual effect through the intricate crazing intentionally applied to the transparent glass layer, the meticulously placed gold leaf in the cracks, and the emerald-like green luminescence that changes with the viewing angle. This green luminescence is a result of advanced coloring techniques that utilize specific metal oxides and light interference, giving it a jewel-like depth that transcends simple coloring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eA notable sculptural aspect is the swing structure, achieved by making the bottom thick and round, allowing it to sway like a roly-poly toy without ever toppling over.

Reminiscent of traditional horseback sake cups or footed vessels, its organic form with a constriction in the center fits comfortably in the hand. We proudly present this as a premium Japanese craft shot glass for slowly enjoying aged sake that has matured into a rich amber color over time, or carefully selected single malt whiskey straight. The unique wide-opening proportion instantly releases the rich aroma of the poured liquor, and when held, it directly conveys the smooth texture and pleasant weight unique to hand-blown glass. With an overwhelming presence as a work of art, this piece, which integrates Japanese aesthetics into a modern luxurious space, will create a luxurious time for entertaining international collectors and special guests at the highest level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eThe artist, Denji Takeuchi, was born in Onoda City, Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1934. While leading Japanese in-house design as the design representative for Sasaki Glass Co., Ltd., a top Japanese glass manufacturer, he also honed his international artistic sensibility by staying in New York and Hamburg from the 1960s. He achieved brilliant results on major stages both domestically and internationally, including winning the gold prize at the International Applied Arts Exhibition in Utrecht, the Netherlands, winning the Spanish International Grand Prize three times at the Valencia Design Competition in Spain, receiving the Kitaro Kunii Industrial Arts Award, and being selected for an exhibition hosted by the Corning Museum of Glass in the United States, the highest authority in the global glass world. His extraordinary sense of form has been widely and publicly recognized, and his works are permanently preserved in the public collections of modern art museums around the world, including the National Crafts Museum of Japan, the Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK, and the Toledo Museum of Art in the US. Since his sudden death in 2001, new supplies have completely ceased, making these valuable vintage pieces by a deceased artist. Complete items with their dedicated boxes that circulate in the market have extremely high rarity and asset value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eOne of the most highly acclaimed elements of Denji Takeuchi's work, as noted in public records, is the fusion of transparent and black, and the three-dimensional color expression achieved through his exceptional hot-work technique. As can be seen in the accompanying images, this piece perfectly embodies his signature design. The heavy black glass covering the top of the vessel, the vibrant opaque turquoise green at the bottom, and the overwhelmingly transparent glass connecting them in the center create a magnificent contrast. Furthermore, at the boundary between the upper and lower colors, a bold band of heavy gold leaf, with fine crack-like textures created by baking and stretching gold foil onto the glass surface, is arranged, radiating a metallic shine when illuminated. In the constricted central part, an advanced inclusion technique is used, where vibrant colored glass pieces in pink, blue, purple, and other hues are fluidly encased within layers of transparent glass. When viewed from above, the amber liquid of aged sake, the internal colors, and the green at the bottom resonate beautifully like a kaleidoscope. The bottom is engraved with the artist's own hand-carved signature \"Denji,\" and along with the signature and seal on the lid of the dedicated box, it is an item in perfect condition with complete material evidence proving its authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/b\u003e Denji Takeuchi (1934-2001)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"35\"\u003eArtist's Major Career Highlights:\u003c\/b\u003e [1934] Born in Onoda City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, [1958] Joined Sasaki Glass Co., Ltd. and served as design representative and director, [1962] Stayed in New York, [1968] Won a gold prize at the International Applied Arts Exhibition in Utrecht, Netherlands, and stayed in Hamburg, [1978] Won the Spanish International Grand Prize at the Valencia Design Competition in Spain (also in '81 and '87), [1979] Received the Kitaro Kunii Industrial Arts Award and was selected for the \"New Glass\" exhibition hosted by the Corning Museum of Glass in the US, [1987] Held a joint exhibition with Kyohei Fujita and others in Paris, [1991] Began glass production in Venice, Italy, [1994] Received the Award of Excellence in the Arts and Culture category from Onoda City, [2001] Passed away on July 16 at the age of 67\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"873\"\u003eWorks in Collection:\u003c\/b\u003e National Crafts Museum (Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art), Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art, Notojima Glass Museum, Shimonoseki City Art Museum, Corning Museum of Glass (USA), Toledo Museum of Art (USA), Victoria and Albert Museum (UK), Czech Glass Museum, Lausanne Museum of Decorative Arts (Switzerland), etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"1206\"\u003ePeriod of Production:\u003c\/b\u003e 1980s-1990s (Works from his mature period, before and after his time in Venice, during which he won numerous grand prizes in domestic and international competitions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"1394\"\u003eProduct Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Very good (no chips, no cracks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"1445\"\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/b\u003e Dedicated paper box, wrapping cloth included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"1503\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-blown glass (with gold leaf and embedded colored glass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"1574\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height approx. 7.2 cm, Mouth diameter approx. 5.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"1639\"\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Even if new and unused, all products offered by our shop are from a very old production period and are listed as used.

Born in Kobayashi City, Miyazaki Prefecture in 1945, Mr. Kuniaki Kuroki continues to be a living legend in the Japanese glass art world, presiding over his own atelier and maintaining a profound global influence as a leading figure even today in 2026. Since entering the glass manufacturing industry on the factory floor in 1963, he has remained entirely unbound by the rigid apprenticeship systems of traditional schools, mastering every facet of the craft—from the high-temperature hot forming of molten raw glass to intricate cold cutting—entirely through self-study and rigorous practical experience. After establishing Glass Art Kuroki in his ancestral hometown of Ayacho, Miyazaki Prefecture, and becoming independent in 1984, he achieved a singular artistic universe that seamlessly fuses Western glass techniques with classical Japanese sensibilities. In 1989, he was honored with the \"Contemporary Master Craftsman\" national award for outstanding skills, becoming the youngest recipient in the glass art history at the time. Furthermore, in 2006, he was bestowed with the prestigious Medal with Yellow Ribbon by the Japanese government, reaching the absolute pinnacle of domestic honor as both a master craftsman and a fine artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003eThis masterpiece flawlessly embodies the spirit of \"Aya Kiriko,\" a proprietary cut glass technique developed by Mr. Kuroki through exhaustive research and modern reinterpretation of the legendary Satsuma Kiriko craft, which had once vanished from the historical stage. While at first glance it may evoke the aura of avant-garde Western studio glass, its profound essence lies in Mr. Kuroki's uncompromising cultural identity: reincarnating the pristine natural grandeur of Ayacho, Miyazaki Prefecture—celebrated for hosting one of the world's largest evergreen broadleaf forests and crystal-clear mountain springs—directly into the soul of the vessel. The heavy, hand-blown cased glass features a rich amber foundation layered with a deep green glass overlay, over which flawless geometric cuts are meticulously applied without a fraction of error. By deeply carving away this thick, colored glass layer at a sophisticated angle, a spectacular refraction of light is achieved, creating \"bokashi\"—the breathtaking, subtle color gradation that shifts fantastically from vivid green to warm amber. This intricate layering of colors conjures a painterly landscape, capturing the mystical light filtering through Ayacho's ancient woods and the shimmering face of its pure streams. The silhouette of the vessel proudly adopts the noble form of the historic Ba-jou-hai, where the substantial weightiness inherent to hand-formed pieces and the organic, slightly unique contours exude an overwhelming sculptural presence that completely distances it from mass-produced wares. The artist's signature is proudly engraved on the base of the piece, certifying its true authenticity, and a carefully preserved, dedicated Tomobako (the original wooden box signed and sealed by the artist) is included as a vital historical document proving its impeccable provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003eWe propose this exceptional vessel, imbued with undisputed art-historical authority and world-class superlative craftsmanship, as the ultimate Japanese KOGEI masterpiece for savoring refined sake and spirits within the palm of your hand, perfectly tailored to a sophisticated contemporary lifestyle. Standing at approximately 8.5 cm in height with a mouth diameter ranging from a minimum of 8.0 cm to a maximum of 8.5 cm, its precise proportions fit beautifully in the hand while concentration and encompassing rich aromas. It performs at its absolute zenith when used to sample aged sake (Koshu) or mature spirits that have developed deep complexity and noble bouquets over many decades. The structure, featuring the tall stem characteristic of the traditional horseback cup, flawlessly prevents the natural body heat of the hand from transferring to the delicate liquid inside, making it functionally and scientifically rational for tasting matured spirits where strict temperature control is paramount. The surreal green and amber landscape extending across the front and sides resonates marvelously with the natural amber hue of poured aged sake, elevating an everyday evening drink into a luxurious moment of contemplating top-tier three-dimensional art. Original creations and museum-tier masterpieces executed entirely by Mr. Kuniaki Kuroki himself are actively acquired by passionate collectors and public institutions worldwide, leaving the civilian market with extremely scarce opportunities to encounter them, thereby endowing this piece with immense rarity and archival value. This Ba-jou-hai stemmed cup, a miraculous crystallization that has successfully evolved the fierce, powerful spirit of Japanese tradition into contemporary fine art, harmonizes flawlessly with sophisticated modern interiors, whether Eastern or Western, bringing undeniable dignity and an incomparable presence to any setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kuniaki Kuroki (1945-)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist's Notable Career History: \u003c\/strong\u003e[1963] Joined Yamaya Glass Industrial Co., Ltd. in Miyazaki Prefecture, commencing his rigorous foundation as a glass craftsman; [1974] Relocated to a prominent glass manufacturing company in Tokyo to absorb advanced modern techniques and scientific knowledge; [1984] Founded \"Glass Art Kuroki\" in his hometown of Ayacho, Miyazaki Prefecture, establishing his independence; [1989] Received the national award for outstanding skills \"Contemporary Master Craftsman\" as the youngest recipient in the glass discipline at the time; [1991] Certified as an official Miyazaki Prefecture Traditional Craftsman; [2006] Bestowed with the \"Medal with Yellow Ribbon\" (Huangshubaozhang) by the Japanese government\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorks Collected and Presented:\u003c\/strong\u003e National Crafts Museum, Miyazaki Prefectural Art Museum, Miyakonojo City Museum of Art, Ebeltoft Glass Museum (Denmark), China National Museum of Art (Beijing), Japanese Embassies and Consulates-General worldwide (Diplomatic Missions), Imperial Household Presentations (officially presented to Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress, His Imperial Highness Crown Prince Naruhito, Their Imperial Highnesses Prince and Princess Akishino, etc.), The Vatican City, and numerous prestigious presentations and donations to overseas Royal Families\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Period: \u003c\/strong\u003eCirca 2010 (Estimated, the peak mature period following his national decoration of the Medal with Yellow Ribbon)\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eVery good (no chips, no cracks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dedicated Tomobako (original wooden box signed and sealed by the artist), Shiori included (original brochure detailing the artist's profile and lineage)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/strong\u003eGlass (Aya Kiriko, cased overlay glass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height approx. 8.5 cm, Mouth diameter approx. 8.0 cm (min) - 8.5 cm (max) (Single piece)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlease note that while the items we offer may be in pristine, unused condition, they originate from a historic production period and are strictly listed as antique\/used fine art pieces.

Mr. Koji Ishii is celebrated as an exceptionally talented artist in contemporary Japanese glass art. After graduating from the Department of Industrial Design at Chiba University's Faculty of Engineering, he worked at Koa Glass Co., Ltd., a glass manufacturing company, where he acquired advanced manufacturing techniques. He then established his own studio and became independent. Without undergoing an apprenticeship system under a specific master, he established a unique glass expression that seamlessly blended the intelligence of industrial design with the craftsmanship of manual work. He is particularly known for his pictorial and emotionally rich style, which seems to encapsulate the harsh natural beauty of the northern regions and Aomori. This piece is a masterpiece that can be considered the origin of Mr. Koji Ishii's creative activities, clearly expressing the techniques and unique abstract designs for which he is most highly regarded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"25\"\u003eThe work is shaped using advanced hot-work (blown glass) techniques. Multiple layers of multicolored frit (colored glass particles) and powder are stacked and layered onto a transparent glass base, creating complex flows and beautiful cloud-like patterns with blue and white color gradations. This technique requires an extremely high level of difficulty; a moment's hesitation or a slight deviation in temperature can lead directly to the glass cracking or the colors becoming cloudy. Thus, exceptional craftsmanship and precise speed are essential. At the bottom of the work, the proudly hand-engraved inscription \"Koji\" by a rotary tool attests to its authenticity, carved by his own hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"26\"\u003eMr. Koji Ishii tragically passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage just before the prime of his artistic career, when he was expected to make a global leap.
