This work was created by Kyohei Fujita (1921-2004), a world-renowned glass artist who was awarded the Order of Culture, the highest honor an artist can receive, and who elevated the world of glass craft to the level of "art." His solitary glass art "Kazabako" has been highly praised worldwide. Moreover, this work is the popular "Wakatake" that continues to fascinate people. This is an outstanding piece of work that the artist, who has always admired the splendid beauty of the Rinpa school, has recreated in glass art full of modern flavor.

The color composition with green as the axis is refreshing, and the gorgeous and beautiful gold and silver leaf is effectively decorated to beautifully express the traditional aesthetic sense of the "Rinpa" school. The work is decorated with a generous amount of gold and silver leaf, and is of the highest quality. The artist was intoxicated by the world of beauty created by Tawaraya Sotatsu and Ogata Korin during the Edo period, and was the person who led the "Rinpa" school to the world of glass art. This work also contains the gorgeous and seductive worldview of the Rinpa school. It can be said that this work proudly displays "Japanese beauty" to the world. With a little ingenuity and display, you can easily enjoy a fantastic atmosphere at home.
