Introducing the fantastic glass art “Space Glass”, which looks like the universe is confined to the palm of your hand, where there are no two objects that change their expression depending on the viewing angle and the way light enters.
“Space glass” is made of heat-resistant glass, which is hand-made one by one with a burner.
Also, it is a very popular art work that can be sold by lot at the WEB store.
You can wear it and enjoy it, or take pictures with different types of lighting such as fluorescent lights and incandescent lights, and enjoy the difference in facial expressions.

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.
