Enjoy the Soejima magic at home

Thank you, very much, for enabling all of us to see how such wonderful people live and work outside of our own country (for me, on the other side of the world). Thank you, very much, for letting us engage with these amazing craftspeople, and letting us actually purchase works of art from them. I have loved Japan and its myriad artistic expressions for decades, and it makes me incredibly happy to be able to support local craftspeople in this manner.

I knew this glass was beautiful when I first saw it online (I, honestly, put it in my personal wishlist the first time I saw it, in case I could afford it later), but receiving it in person made me truly appreciate just how gorgeous it is. The colors added so expertly inside the lower half of the glass make it shine in any light, and when used for its purpose the color of the liquid makes the shapes of the glass stand out incredibly in different ways.

The best part of this glass, to me, is how the shape of it, and the colors, all mix together with the way the bubbles trapped inside the glass itself catch your eye; they make me stop and look at it every time I drink from it, because they react so differently to so many different types and colors of liquids.

At times the bubbles within the glass, as I look at it, have reminded me of stars.

I very much love this glass, and I am thankful for both the opportunity to purchase it, and the effort and spirit that the craftspeople put into it. I hope that I can purchase more in the future so that I can share this quality and beauty with my friends and family.

Thank you very much, "Japanese Food Craftsman", and thank you very much Soejima Kiln and the people who made this wonderful glass.

You have my permission to put any part or all parts of my reply into your website, because I am so very pleased with this product. Thank you, very much.
