This is the fourth solo exhibition at Wako by glass artist Fujiko Enami.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

From October 8th (Thursday) to 18th (Sunday), Wako in Ginza will host a solo exhibition at the Seiko House Hall featuring Fujiko Enami, a glass artist who is a master of "mulline," one of the distinctive techniques of Venetian glass, and who continues to engage in diverse creative activities.
Following previous exhibitions that have explored the themes of "flowers," "birds," and "moon" since 2016, Enami's fourth solo exhibition at Wako focuses on "wind." The wind that sways plants, crosses the water's surface, and carries the seasons\u2014this intangible presence is brought to life through the delicate spread of murrine, manipulating color and light to create a poetic world of art.
In addition to popular works from his previous three solo exhibitions, such as the flower garden and vine series, he will also be exhibiting ambitious new works including lidded containers and bowls.
From vases and lampshades to bird and acorn sculptures, Murrine's charming world unfolds before your eyes.<\/p>\n
