Chika Kato has been developing techniques to extend her range of expression in contemporary crafts, where the beauty of use as well as the beauty of appreciation is highly valued.
The motifs of her works are water phenomena such as snow and frost, that can only be created under certain conditions.
Her works expressed through outstanding techniques that make full use of the texture and characteristics of glass are so delicate that they seem to melt as soon as you touch them. We hope you will enjoy her transient yet beautiful works.
