[Traditional Japanese Kyoto painting techniques] This extremely rare piece is carefully painted one by one on various glass products and then slowly baked at low temperatures in a pottery kiln. It combines the traditional Japanese color painting techniques of Kiyomizu ware with the modern material of glass to create a special masterpiece with exquisite transparency and vivid patterns. [Firing technique achieved through ingenuity and trial and error] Regular glass is sensitive to temperature changes and cannot be fired at high temperatures. However, through repeated trial and error, we have developed a unique painting technique that produces beautiful, vibrant, and durable glassware.
