Glass art transcends the globe, and we wanted to give you an inside look at some of the hottest artists out of Japan. We met up with a local collector here in Baltimore to shoot some of his pieces in the functional and nonfunctional glass worlds. Team Japan started out small, and continued growth can be expected from this group of glass professionals. It's amazing to see such pristine work coming from a region where Cannabis remains highly illegal. Greg Malcolm lined up the shot of this badass Yoshinori Kondo x Snic Barnes collab commanding an opal coin Kondo marble with a functional SLOP C.U.P. pipe next to it.
