Hodaka Higashi, known for his precise works using cut glass and blown glass techniques, will present his exhibition titled Kousai (meaning “Radiance”). The show will feature organic-shaped perfume bottles that capture brilliant colors, along with pieces from the prism series, which showcase bold jewelry cuts. New bottles will also be introduced, all displayed in the newly opened A&S Aneyakoji Kyoto, which began operation in April this year. As autumn settles in, Kyoto enters the season of beautiful scenery. We hope you’ll take this opportunity to visit.
