KYOHEI FUJITA (1921-2004)  

Japan had no strong glassmaking tradition, so Kyohei Fujita invented one by transforming the splendour of 17th and 18th-century Japanese lacquer ware into magnificent glass boxes in the 1960’s.

Kyohei Fujita graduated from the Metal Division of the Tokyo Academy of Art in 1944. He was deeply fascinated by the properties and beauty of glass and in 1949 he started his work as an independent glass artist. Through a number of solo exhibitions during the 1960’s, Fujita received tremendous recognition as a glass artist and gained a high reputation from the public.

Kyohei Fujita is known as one of the great Japanese masters in glass. In a foreword to an exhibition in Japan, Michiaki Kawakita, director of the Kyoto National Museum of Modern Art, wrote: “Fujita has made the beauty of glass a vital part of our traditional crafts.“

Kyohei Fujita had a long career in glass creating exquisite boxes using blown glass and sheets of gold and platinum leaf. His work has been exhibited in numerous exhibitions around the world and is represented in major museum collections in Asia, the United States and Europe. A large number of his works were shown in a joint exhibition with Harvey Littleton at Glasmuseet Ebeltoft in 1989.
