＜Glass Metamorphose＞

The time when I face with glass which is colorless and transparent is my happiest moment. Glass - from liquid to solid, and further change to the one engraved. Pursuing the further beauty I will confront with glass and engrave giving life and prey in it.

＜The part of sales will be donated for the recovery from the the Japan earthquake.＞

＜Diamond Point＞
Diamond Point is the classical glass art which give ornament
using special diamond needle originated in Veneziz, Italy in 16th century.
The dedicate and elegant ornament which are produced with diamond point
has been popular among many people in the world.

＜GLSKRONE＞
Krone is a German word which means crown or crown of king
and also round staff, ring and loop.
The name of "Glas Krone" was given with the hope of the relationship
through glass becoming large circle.
