Discover the Elegance of Glass Art with Yoshihiro Nishiyama
From June 13 to June 28, 2026, CIBONE CASE in Ginza is hosting a solo exhibition titled
'Yuragi Yurameki Yurayura 2026' featuring the mesmerizing works of renowned glass artist
Yoshihiro Nishiyama. Based in Ehime, Nishiyama utilizes traditional glassblowing techniques to create pieces that are not just visually stunning but also rich in texture and emotion.
Each piece he creates is a testament to the inherent beauty of glass, showcasing delightful irregularities and subtle distortions. Unlike many artists who add decorative elements afterward, Nishiyama engages with the glass in its fluid state, capturing the ephemeral moments that reflect light and change character as the viewer moves.
For instance, the
Octagonal Pitcher M is available for a price of
¥9,900 (including tax), embodying the natural aesthetics Nishiyama strives for. He emphasizes that his approach is not about altering the material but rather embracing its organic shapes that emerge during the creation process.
'I want to incorporate the natural form of glass, not artificial shapes', Nishiyama explains. This dedication to honoring the material allows each artwork to express its unique identity, blending the characteristics of glass with the artistry of handcrafting.
The exhibition will showcase a diverse range of items, including
classic glasses, bowls, and vases, along with newly crafted works specifically made for this event. As the title suggests,
'Yuragi Yurameki Yurayura' translates to the fluctuating nature of light and air that dances through Nishiyama's creations, transforming their appearance and enhancing their interaction with the environment.
