About the Artist
Shadow and Light Enlivened by Sandblast
Minako Osumi is a glass artist who uses the sandblast technique to pursue delicate expression. After studying arts and crafts at university, from the year 2000, she started making sandblasted glasswork in full swing. She goes out to do fieldwork by herself, using the flowers, plants, insects, and the workings of nature she encounters there as motifs. She creates glasswork utilizing soft gradation, shadow, and light by changing the depth of the carving, and in recent years, she received awards 2 years in a row at the Tōkai Traditional Kōgei Exhibition, making her one of the highly evaluated glass artists.
