The molecular structure of glass is similar to that of a liquid, and a few years ago, there was a debate between the "glass is liquid" and "glass is solid" factions, or not so much. When I look at a glass with high transparency and beautiful curves, I feel that it looks like a liquid. The exhibition that will bring you in touch with such fascination of glass will be held at the following exhibition.Graphpaper.The event will be held at
From Saturday, September 10 to Sunday, September 18, glass artistsMAKOTO KAKIZAKIexhibition will be held. Highly transparent, sophisticated, and minimalist forms. The shadows and shimmering lights that emerge when illuminated by light give them the appearance of objects that transcend their practical use. In addition to the transparent works that are synonymous with Mr. Kakizaki and the unique textures and colors inspired by stone and paper, which are his new pursuits, special glasses made exclusively for "Graphpaper" will also be on sale at this exhibition.

. Having one glass that you like makes drinking water or iced coffee a little more enjoyable. On the first day of the exhibition, Makoto Kakisaki will be in the gallery, so why not ask him about the production process? You will be able to find a piece of glass that you will love.
