Ornamental Glass Boxes
Kyohei Fujita created exquisite Liuli boxes, a Japanese designation for delicate and ornate jeweled boxes. In 1949 he began his career as an independent glass artist. He was one of the few artists who worked with glass in Japan. He helped bring the Contemporary Glass Art Movement to Japan. In 1989 he was appointed sole glass artist to the Japan Art Academy, an honorary society for artist who contributed significantly to the development of the arts. The word "tradition" is the common thread of Fujita's entire path.
His effort and passion were aimed at recognizing and treasuring the past to enrich the present. His boxes all contain an ever-expanding ray of hope emanating from the essential beauty of life.
