Saburo's works are loved by many people for their harmonious designs that blend with both Japanese and Western styles, and their unique beauty of color.

Saburo's warmth The appeal of glassware

Saburo creates glass vessels using a technique called kiln work. With this technique, small pieces of glass are combined, colored powdered glass is placed in the gaps between them, and then fired in a kiln to create beautiful mosaic patterns. Furthermore, by blending colors in his own way and adding glass powder that changes color when fired, he achieves colors with unique depth and richness. The husband and wife team carry out the above process to create glass vessels that exude the warmth of handmade items.

When Saburo's pieces catch the light, even the shadows are beautifully projected like art, creating a cool atmosphere. By incorporating these pieces into your dining table, you can visually feel a sense of coolness.

He also has a diverse style, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources to create stylish glassware. His glassware shows a different expression every time you look at it, and it can sometimes feel as if it is alive. The same piece can take on different atmospheres depending on the season and the light, so you can enjoy its charm all year round.

*Because these are handmade, there may be individual differences in color and shape. Please enjoy the unique texture of handmade items.
