Kazuko Mitsushima
the glass jewelry and art
2014.4.19-5.4
The beauty of the momentary movement of the glass that flows out as if you were willing
Kazuko Mitsushima stays in the shape of a small piece of jewelry.
The choice is always clean, modern and simple.
The small glass objects are fresh and fresh
When you wear it, it gives off a stunning glow.
Mr. A who passed away last year.
She was a woman who survived that life dignifiedly and beautifully.
Whenever she saw her, she wore Mitsushima's ring, which was very suitable for her.
The former Lord who was equal to the power of the work.
The power of the work gives energy to the person who always wears it. I'm sure she felt that way too.
And now the ring is with me.
The beautiful transparent gravel of Hikari may be the beauty of the flow of life itself ...
Beautiful creature-like glass jewelry
It makes me feel the importance of living dignifiedly more than being decorated.
Small but beautiful and strong works in the shape of the will of glass.
I hope you can pick it up, wear it, and feel it.
