For about 16 years, she worked in glass while also running HAKOYA, her leather bag label built on traditional stitching techniques.

Powdered glass is packed into a plaster mold and fired in a kiln, a slow, hands-on process that one person can carry through alone. Few artists in Japan work this way today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHer pieces are known for the fine bubbles that form in the firing and a soft translucency that seems to hold light within the glass.
