Searching all of Japan for handcrafted items that express its heart and soul, our proprietor, KASHIYUKA, presents things that bring a bit of luxury to everyday life. This time she visits the studio of a glassblower, Ms. Yuko Sakou, in the city of Seki, Gifu prefecture. In Japan, summertime is characterized by the “summer sound” that floats upon the breeze.
