Living World ‘100 Babies’
Written on March 12, 2008
Keeping track has never been so beautiful with these handmade ’sandglasses’ from Japan.
The glass itself is mouthblown by a craftsman in downtown Tokyo. The wooden casings come in your choice of castor aralia, walnut, or black walnut (1, 2 and 3), and are constructed in Hokkaido prefecture. Tariho Nishimura (who, along with his wife Nish run the design firm Living World) was so kind to provide this background, which may be on their website but I can’t read Japanese. I hope to update with photos from the various workshops.
They have just added international shipping, so take a look.
