Project Highlights

1. fusion of sandblasting technique and sumi-e ink painting

Gekkou Kobo's various sandblasting techniques will be used to engrave the ink painting of a dragon by Yasuhige Kimata on a glass. The delicate shading of the ink painting is faithfully reproduced on the glass, enabling a three-dimensional expression. 2.

2. a variety of designs

A-Un Series

Four types of dragons (black dragon, blue dragon, yellow dragon, and white dragon) are designed on each pair of glasses. The pairing of the four dragons is emphasized, making them ideal for gift-giving.

Oborozuki Series

The design features a dragon looking up at the moon, and the gradation technique is used to express clouds. The design reproduces a fantastic scene of a hazy moon.

The "Moonlight Dragon" series

The design of the dragon emits light in the dark by combining the sandblasting step engraving technique and luminescent material. These rocks glasses have both a profound and three-dimensional appearance. The glow-in-the-dark technology is our patented technology (Patent No. 6998041). 3.

Special packaging

All glasses are delivered in a special black box with Mr. Kimata's signature. The luxurious pasted box will surely be appreciated as a special gift.
