I hope to share this feeling with the viewer." - Takeyoshi Mitsui



Welcoming the beginning of spring in this coldest season, we are pleased to introduce

he made art and craft pieces from sake glass to flower vases and objects. The colors are in tranquil
monochrome or blight and luster in jewel tones. His works reflect his imagined scenery with pure and
fresh sensitivity. After his four years experience at Toyama Glass Studio, he had an opportunity in
artist-in-residence program to create and exhibit his works in Canberra, Australia in summer of 2016 .
Mitsui received the U35 award for his” silence” glass series from the Japan Crafts Exhibition.
