Still Presence - Glass for the Everyday Taku Eiki

MAY29 FRI - JUL5 SUN, 2026

Temporarily Closed on June 11

We are pleased to present a solo exhibition by Taku Eiki, a glass artist based in Matsumoto, Nagano.

Taku Eiki (RITOGLASS) creates glass vessels using the free-blowing technique. Crafting without molds, he engages directly with the molten glass, breathing life into forms that bear subtle ripples.

In the light, each piece radiates a still presence.

Rather than layering ornamentation, Taku focuses on uncovering the very essence of form. While perfectly functional for the everyday, his vessels possess a beauty that invites contemplation. Blending the warmth of a daily utensil with the serene charm of a work of art, his creations gently harmonize with the landscape of our lives.
