Saburo lived in Germany for about three years when he was in his twenties. After returning to Japan, Saburo decided to live as an artist, and seeking the potential for expression in glass, he learned from scratch at the Toyama Institute of Glass Art. Glass changes its hardness depending on the temperature. Various techniques exist within this, and various expressions are born. There is no other material as expressive as glass, with its "transparent/opaque," "cold/warm," and "hard/gentle" qualities. I am fascinated by the infinite variety of glass.
