Taiga Oku's glass creations are born from heat exceeding 1300℃.

He constantly rotates the rod to prevent the honey-like molten glass from dripping, shaping it swiftly with minimal movements before it cools and solidifies.

The forms created from this continuous rotation and speed are as cool and crisp as "water" 透かす「水」 lit by early summer light, possessing a dignified presence.

"Items for daily use. Items you want to keep by your side. Simple and beautiful items."
These are the sentiments that drive Oku's creative process.

Oku's works showcase the beautiful colors of the glass itself, shimmering in rainbow hues when light passes through them.
Though delicate in form, they possess a pleasant thickness and weight, making them beautiful additions that blend into everyday life.

These are works by Taiga Oku, a glass artist active in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture.

His beautiful, transparent works, through which light passes, are created using blow work (blown glass).
The vessels, meticulously crafted with an emphasis on what constitutes a beautiful form, are truly deserving of the word "rin" (dignified). Their mere presence enhances and refines the space.

"Items to use every day. Items to keep close by. Simple and beautiful items."
Mr. Oku creates his works with these thoughts in mind.

Mr. Oku's works are beautiful in the inherent color of the glass itself, and they sparkle with iridescent colors when light passes through them.
Though they have a delicate form, they also have a moderate thickness and weight, making them works that beautifully color everyday life while blending in.
