【Handling Glassware】
Glassware, which changes its appearance beautifully as light passes through it, has long been cherished in Japanese life.
With careful use, it can be enjoyed for many years to come.
【Before First Use】
Before use, wash once with a mild detergent and a soft sponge.
【Care】
Wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent.
Please be careful, as thin glasses may break if washed with excessive force or twisting motions.
After washing, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing.
【Storage】
Stacking with hard objects like pottery or porcelain may cause scratches.
We recommend storing them with a cloth or other material in between, rather than stacking them directly.

Glass Artist Taiho Kikuchi
Taiho Kikuchi creates blown glass in Toyama Prefecture.
In mid-October, during the rice harvest season, I visited his newly completed studio and experienced the atmosphere where his creations are born.
Autumn light softly streamed into the space, which was originally a rice storehouse, and the outlines of the glass gently emerged in the quiet room.
There, alone, Kikuchi faced the glass fresh from the kiln, and without hesitation, he lightly gave it form.
Glass Adorned with Soft LightA distinctive feature of Taiho Kikuchi's glassworks is the pale pink color created by thinly blowing "amber," an amber-colored raw material.
When it catches the light, its expression is delicately tinted, boasting a beauty as if veiled in soft air.
It's perfect for pairing with colorful ingredients or as an art piece, creating a wonderful ambiance.
This piece allows you to fully enjoy the spaciousness created within the glass.
This plate can be used on both sides, and the way it catches light and its impression change significantly between the front and back.
We also offer an L size with the same appearance, just a bit smaller.
