The air bubbles, a characteristic of Ryukyuan glass, match the mysterious undersea atmosphere.
The wavy texture of the shibori glass creates a wave-like effect, and the gradation of color from light to dark blue is reminiscent of the beautiful colors of the ocean.
Sandblasting technique
The design of the jellyfish floating peacefully in the sea are created by sandblasting, a technique in which sand is blown onto glass at high pressure to create detailed patterns.

Since the glasses are handmade by craftsmen, the gradation of colors, the subtle variation in depth of the patterns, and the size and layout of the air bubbles will vary from glass to glass. Each one is unique!
