Bright blue and green

The characteristic of Tsugaru Vidro is the traditional air blowing technique. The soft curves that you create and the vibrant yet calming colors. Today, Tsugaru Vidro's colored glass, which produces more than 100 , is said to be modeled after natural colors.

The "Mutsu Bay" series, which expresses the sea in the midwinter with dancing curves and deep blue, has different shades of blue such as the glass part and the pedestal. It conveys the mystery of original colored glass that fascinates you.

The blue sea of ​​winter with violent waves is projected on the surface of the glass. One of the charms of handmade products is that the round patterns and curves that look like drops are different one by one.

I would like to find my own Mutsu Bay while considering the color of the things to be poured inside.

Traditional air-blown glass

Hokuyo Glass Co., Ltd. was founded in Showa 24 . It's a glass maker. Originally, I made floating glass balls for use in the fishing industry. It was the craftsmen's "air blowing" technology that made the floating balls that were durable and boasted the highest production in Japan.

It is a technique to shape the glass wound on a rod by blowing it in the air without using a mold. It is extremely difficult to make a round floating ball by blowing in the air. However, the craftsmen sought high quality and refined their skills. The technique cultivated in making floating balls has been selected as the first traditional craft of Aomori.

One of the attractions of Tsugaru Vidro is the brightly colored glass. While making various products, I was fascinated by the accidentally discovered colored glass making, and now I am making various colored glass that reproduces the natural colors.

What is expressed in the glass is the natural beauty of Tsugaru. Its delicate and vivid colors are now attracting attention from around the world.
