He grows with the modern development of glass art in Japan, becoming one of its main protagonists. His works are a permanent reminder of the traditional Japanese way of life, specially the tea ceremony. Born in 1921 in Tokyo, Kyohei Fujita graduated from the Department of Metal Crafts of the Tokyo Academy of Arts. This training will influence him for life as he feel impelled to combine glass and precious metals in his works. He studied with Toshichi Iwata and worked in the Iwata Glass Co. Ltd for two years. The combination of glass texture and the guild of gold and platinum is fully impregnated with the spirit of Zen, and is an evocation of his exceptional feel for colour.“They are not just colours, but they represent human spirit, thought and emotions”, is the message conveyed by the Master in his artistic style.
