 Kyoko Tamada has long taken in the Japanese culture of MIYABI to her glass artwork. She has successfully altered the Heian Period colors uniquely into glass, rather than expressing them in fabric and paper.
Many of the Japanese glass artists struggle to find their signature style, but sadly can not seem to escape from the Western style art form. [MIYABI GLASS-Glass of Refined Elegance] is based on the MIYABI culture passed down in the Imperial Household within the Imperial Court for 1000 years.
Kyoko Tamada has the sensibility of color near to that of the Heian Period courtier. If there was glass in the Heian Period, rather than using fabric and paper, the artists would have chosen glass as a tool to express the combination of colors created by the layering garments of JUNIHITOE, a twelve-layered ceremonial kimono worn by court ladies.
[MIYABI GLASS-Glass of Refined Elegance] is a unique modern glass art originated in Japan.
