Q3: What is the connection between this glass and Japanese glass design?

A: The artisans behind our designs have experience studying and working in Japan, where they gained firsthand exposure to Japanese glass aesthetics and cutting techniques. Our workshop also has experience producing glassware for customers in the Japanese market. These experiences influence the cutting, polishing, color layering, and Japanese-inspired aesthetic of this glass.
