Taiga Oku's glass creations are born from heat exceeding 1300℃.

He constantly rotates the rod to prevent the honey-like molten glass from dripping, shaping it swiftly with minimal movements before it cools and solidifies.

The forms created from this continuous rotation and speed are as cool and crisp as "water" 透かす「水」 lit by early summer light, possessing a dignified presence.

"Items for daily use. Items you want to keep by your side. Simple and beautiful items."
These are the sentiments that drive Oku's creative process.

Oku's works showcase the beautiful colors of the glass itself, shimmering in rainbow hues when light passes through them.
Though delicate in form, they possess a pleasant thickness and weight, making them beautiful additions that blend into everyday life.
