Upon graduating from high school, he started working in a glass company and began his career in glass. He began creating glass crafts and obtained a first-class national glass product manufacturing technician certification. He was awarded the national "Contemporary Master Craftsman" for outstanding craftsmanship, and has since accumulated a number of brilliant achievements, including the International Art and Culture Award and the Grand Prize at the Paris Art Festival in France. Kuroki Kuniaki is a representative Japanese glass craftsman who has attracted worldwide attention, with his works now housed in art museums around the world. Aya Kiriko was born from the theme of evergreen broad-leaved forests, a symbol of Aya Town, where his studio is located. The deep green of the trees and the sparkling sunlight pouring down on them are sublimated into rich colors and designs consisting of three or four layers, establishing the unique brand "Aya Kiriko". It also contributed to the registration of Aya UNESCO Eco Park, and is a symbolic work that serves as a messenger of environmental conservation.
