hoop vase kaku S / Taiga Oku

Each piece is handcrafted using traditional blowglass techniques.
To highlight the inherent beauty of glass, no decorative elements are added—every work is made exclusively from clear glass, embodying a philosophy of refined simplicity.
It is this mastery of technique and deep experience that allows even the smallest details to hold a quiet elegance.

Though delicately thin, these pieces are not overly fragile.
The weight in the hand and the feel at the lip are meticulously considered, resulting in works that integrate effortlessly into daily life while bringing a touch of sophistication to everyday moments.

The “hoop” Series features a delicate gold rim that elegantly finishes each piece.

A single, subtle line of gold encircles the edge—never too bold, it brings a refined sense of balance and sophistication.

This is a small flower vase, perfect for adding a gentle touch of nature to your everyday space.
*“Kaku” is a Japanese word that refers to something with edges or angular forms.
