Glass Plate 7-inch Arinaga Kōta
平皿盆7寸 ソーダ 有永浩太
£140.00 per item
A blown-glass plate with a light blue colour, produced by Arinaga Kōta in Ishikawa prefecture.
This plate is created by Arinaga Kōta using a glass-blowing technique that generates volume through inflation, making it ideal for forming broad vessels. Arinaga captures the shape at an optimal moment in the process, observing the glass as it expands and builds internal tension.
Born in Osaka in 1978, Arinaga completed the Glass Course at Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts, where he was mentored by Kotani Shinzo – a leading figure of Kurashiki Glass, known for its emphasis on functional beauty. After graduating, he worked at various glass studios across Japan before establishing his own studio, Kota Glass, on Notoijma Island in 2017.

Chūbu
The central Chūbu region is predominantly mountainous, home to the rugged Japan Alps with coasts on both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
