From the owner

Tsumori's original work is created by mixing soil and glass. I listened to the story once. As he continued to make glass works, he said he had researched the materials, saying, "I'm tired of shining ... Is there any other expression?" As a result of considerable trial and error, they arrived at a mixture with soil. Strictly measure the soil and glass and mix.
Is it only me that his work feels like a firm discipline, even though it is an original material and shape?
Those who see his work may discover the free parts within him and the core of his incessant self.
