KIMOTO GLASSWARE's Featured Piece
The piece presented by KIMOTO GLASSWARE at the exhibition is the "KUROCO Tama-Ichimatsu Old." While Kiriko cut glass is one of Japan's representative traditional crafts, red and blue tend to be the predominant colors. This glass stands out as an iconic item from KIMOTO GLASS TOKYO, born from the bold and unconventional idea of creating black Kiriko—a concept that breaks away from convention.
When plant cells are magnified, a fascinating world appears—one that resembles an orderly checkered (ichimatsu) pattern. Within each cell is a spherical nucleus, much like a polished gem set within the squares of the pattern.
