The other day a guy that I know kindly sent me a box of cheery as a gift for season's greetings. The cherry is from Yamagata Pref. at Tohoku area in Japan. I guess everybody in the world knows the place name, Tohoku because of the disaster of earthquake and tsunami. Cherry is one of the special farm products of Yamagata Pref. Honestly it is a kind of costly fruit but it looks very beautiful. It is called "red diamond".
I put these red diamonds into glassware which was made by a glass artist, Masaki Kanda. This work is so-called kiln work. I like this work very much. The four legs make this work outstanding. Also I like the color that is half white, half clear. We can enjoy the see-through. I believe that this work is proper for something red.
