S150 Asagi | Nijinoha Aiko Hiraiwa

The soft glow born from recycled glass

Recycled glass is made from materials such as discarded bottles and old windowpanes. Used sake bottles are carefully washed, labels are removed, and then melted in a furnace. Each vessel, crafted using the blown glass technique, radiates a gentle, soft glow, transforming into a vessel that exudes warmth.

The experience and techniques acquired at the Ryukyu Glass Workshop Okuhara Glass Manufacturing in Okinawa. Bold yet delicate hand movements, moments of harmonizing with the flame. Based on what was learned during her time as a craftswoman, the ripples and fluctuations, woven with her own sensibility, seem to reflect the delicate beauty of nature, like the gentle breeze of a forest or the dancing light on the water's surface.

Rather than being ostentatious, importance is placed on the beauty of the item as a tool that accompanies daily life. Each time you pick it up, it feels comfortable in your hand and lifts your spirits slightly. This is a glass of "beauty in utility" that brings small joys to ordinary moments.

The light and shadows that shift in daily life. Depending on the strength and angle of the incoming light, the glass shimmers softly, revealing various expressions. Its simple and timeless design adds a gentle touch of color to your unchanging dining table, bringing a peaceful calm that quietly envelops your heart.

As each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, size, weight, thickness, subtle variations in mold patterns, streaks, and small and large bubbles. Please enjoy them as unique expressions characteristic of handmade items. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, we can email you photos before shipping if you contact us.
