About the Artwork
* This piece is available in other colors. If you send an inquiry, we will introduce you to the colors that are currently available.
As I wanted to create a fusion of logical design elements and intuitive design elements, I used two different techniques of "edge cutting" to cut off all the edges at the bottom of the glass and change the form.
On thinking of my designs, I consider whether they should be logical and mathematical, or intuitive and sensuous.
As I felt that everything became logical when I thought of making a logical design, and everything became intuitive when I thought of an intuitive design, I thought I would make a design combining both elements, and came up with this design.
The base of the design is overall intuitive and sensuous using curved lines, but the traditional chrysanthemum basket weave and bamboo fence patterns in between are a logical and mathematical structure, cut precisely along the intersection of coordinates based on a grid of vertical and horizontal squares.

Techniques Used
Kiriko cut glass
Kiriko cut glass is made by using rotating grinders or diamond wheels to cut geometric patterns and curves into the surface of finished glass vessels. The patterns are evened and finished with fine polishing stones. Edo kiriko and Satsuma kiriko are especially famous.
