First introduced in his debut exhibition, Takeyoshi Mitsui’s Silence collection marked a turning point in the artist’s practice as he moved toward a calmer, more intuitive way of thinking. Hand-blown in Toyama, these tumblers are layered in two tones, then hand-carved to reveal soft lines that catch and diffuse the light. The surface appears misted, like rainfall on water: an effect Mitsui achieves by carving back through the color rather than adding to it.
