Marumo Takagi Pottery Co., Ltd. has canceled many fireworks festivals nationwide due to continued self-restraint, but at least enjoy the production of “colorful fireworks, fireworks that decorate the night sky” with this product. With the desire to have it, we have released the Cold Fireworks Cup & Glass series, “The Light of Hope that Colors the Night Sky.”
“I think it would be interesting if ceramics and glass could have the function of seeing the temperature,” was the inspiration for Mr. Takagi’s inspiration. Mr. Takagi says he wanted to bring about the innovation of ceramics, which is the result of tradition and the latest technology.
Cool sense series designed for temperature
By special processing, it senses the temperature below about 17 degrees and changes. Ceramic cups use white and black cups to make the night sky even more fantastic. The appearance of the surface of the glass where dew condensation occurs makes you feel as if it were a cloud. For sake and champagne glasses, we have a special acrylic box (sold separately) in consideration of the culture of Koboshi sake.

Many events are currently being canceled due to the effects of corona. Naturally, fireworks events are held not only in Japan, but around the world, and I hope this product will serve as an opportunity to spread worldwide.
I would be happy if it could be delivered to everyone’s hands as a “light of hope that colors the night sky” rather than a temporary event called fireworks.
This series is a product that continues to convey the four seasons and culture of Japan, and is intended to be communicated not only domestically but also overseas.
Cherry blossoms, fireworks, and in autumn, we plan the next work that will make you feel the scenery of Japan, which is suitable for the season.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
