Hand-Blown Glass Bowl with Foot
by Fujiko Enami

Fujiko Enami
"
In my assistant years, I especially learned about color combination of
glass from Jim and Deborah. After I returned to Japan, I started making
murrine works with Ushio Konishi to find out our own way. In 2011, I was
selected in " The Yearing Venetian Glass Exhibition " at Suntory Museum
in Tokyo. I am always trying to find out new and original art
expression in my work. "
Hand-Painted Porcelain Platter
by Ruri Takeuchi
$6,000
Ruri Takeuchi
“With
each individual work, including the title, I condense a single universe
into that piece. The motifs are mostly inspired by nature, and I find
it most satisfying when someone is able to look at my work and
experience a soft breeze, hear the voice of a bird, or recreate a
feeling from some story.”
Hand-Curved and Lacquered Serving Bowl
by Eiko Tanaka
$800
Eiko Tanaka
As
the lathe turns, she uses her sharpened utensils to carefully carve out
a light and delicate form. From a traditional form of artistry, her
exquisite skill and confidence comes from experience and passion; she
listens and reacts to the wood while shaping its surfaces. Eiko's
refined techniques are guided by the beauty of the wood grain, which
radiates from beneath the layer of lacquer. Every work, though
contemporary, is every bit intertwined with its history.
