Naoya Arakawa Established Seikosha Glass Studio in 1981. He pursues simple and practical beauty and is highly regarded both domestically and internationally. His works, which utilize overwhelming transparency, the undulations of glass, and the texture of the material, bring timeless value. No original box I have loved Naoya Arakawa's works for over 20 years and have collected them by purchasing them at exhibitions, but I have decided to part with them this time. These items have been carefully stored in a box. I am offering them for sale in the hope that someone who appreciates them will take them.
