Takanori Washizuka (WASHIZUKA GLASS STUDIO) chopstick rest set | Chopstick rests

This is a work by glass artist Takanori Washizuka, who is based in Toyama Prefecture.
He operates under the name "WASHIZUKA GLASS STUDIO."

Each piece of mouth-blown glass has a stylish form, yet retains an organic quality characteristic of handmade items, resulting in a well-balanced aesthetic.

The "clear" series is particularly beautiful, featuring a gradient from an amber color encased in the center to clear glass on the exterior.
The "charcoal" series is a very stylish collection with a transparent, deep gray color.
Both series exude a sophisticated impression and pair wonderfully with each other.

Washizuka believes that honest "simplicity" is important, striving to make everyday life comfortable and to achieve "simplicity" while maintaining the richness of the product.
He creates glass with this philosophy in mind.
