    About the Artist

    Collaborating with Techniques of the World

    Glasswork artist Kaori Izumi creates profound artwork using Japan's traditional cut glass technique and the traditional lace glass technique of Venetian glass. After graduating from university, Izumi studied glasswork techniques in Japan and overseas, and received the Japan Kōgei Association Award at the East Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition in 2021. The delicate lace-like color glass lines overlapping in spirals and the bold cut on the outside create an artistic beauty that cannot be seen in typical cut glass pieces. The exquisite beauty of lace glass and sharpness of the cut glass are the characteristics of Izumi's artwork.
