About the Item
A Kazaribako "Ornamented Box" made of glass by Japanese artist Kyohei Fujita (1921-2004) circa 1980s. The hand-blown glass box with fitting lid is of an oval shape, slightly irregular with on one side with the contour line of the lid concaved in slightly from that of the base. Its thick glass walls are embedded with fine crushed gold leave. The infused pattern appears like veins and webs, shimmering in the light. The rim of both the lid and the body was lined with sterling silver. Etch signed "K. Fujita" on the base.
Reference: For a nearly identical work in terms of form and color entitled "Hiraizumi", see Illustration plate 80 on page 96 of the book “The world of Kyocera Fujitsu: a 70th Birthday Commemoration”.
Graduated from the Tokyo Academy of Arts, Department of Metal Crafts at nineteen. At twenty-six he entered the Iwata Glass Co. and resigned two years later to establish a career as an independent artist. In 1973, Fujita presented the “Japanese Iris” themed Liuli box (a type of glass). The box was made with a technically complicated decoration that results in the magical jewel-tones. From that point on, the name Kyohei Fujita became synonymous with “Liuli box”. They were the most ornate and magical Japanese boxes in the world.
