He began creating glass crafts and obtained a first-class national glass product manufacturing technician license. After receiving the national award for outstanding craftsmanship, "Contemporary Master Craftsman," he 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. This is an outstanding piece by Kuroki Kuniaki, one of Japan's leading glass craftsmen, whose works are now in the collections of art museums around the world and who is attracting attention from around the world.

This piece is called "Japanese Light Gold Inlay Korin" and is a very rare lamp piece that recreates the world of the Rinpa school, which delicately and gorgeously depicts the Japanese climate and nature, with its beautiful red and white plum blossoms. The Korin series, which is characterized by its extensive use of gold and platinum leaf and meticulous inlay, is the most popular and highly acclaimed of the Rinpa school. The gorgeous gold leaf and colorful, elegant inlay captivate the viewer. It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the greatest masterpieces, beautifully combining the Rinpa school, a symbol of Japanese aesthetics, and the techniques of Italian glass art.
