Takanori Washizuka (WASHIZUKA GLASS STUDIO) Wind Chime

These are works by Takanori Washizuka, a glass artist based in Toyama Prefecture.
He operates under the name "WASHIZUKA GLASS STUDIO."

Each piece of glass, made individually through mouth-blowing, possesses a stylish form while maintaining a balance that retains the organic qualities unique to handcrafted items.

The "clear" series features a beautiful gradation from an amber color encased in the center to a clear outer edge.
The "charcoal" series is a very stylish collection with a transparent and deep gray color.
Both give a sophisticated impression and pair excellently with each other.

Washizuka believes that honest "simplicity" is important, aiming to make everyday life comfortable and to finish his pieces "simply" while maintaining their richness as products.
He creates his glass with this philosophy in mind.
