Description:
Various Color (MR5029) is a handcrafted kaleidoscope by renowned Japanese artist Ryuichi Matsuda, featuring the rare slumped glass technique that bends flat glass into a smooth, cylindrical body. This particular piece showcases a stunning vintage-style green gradient glass that transitions from clear emerald to deep green—an effect rarely seen in modern kaleidoscopes.

Inside, the thick oil chamber holds delicately flame-worked glass objects in clear, emerald, and deep green tones. The high-viscosity oil slows the motion, creating a floating, dreamy tempo that enhances the visual experience.

The 2-mirror system produces a 4-point symmetrical mandala pattern that appears to float in a deep black background, reminiscent of a black hole. Each turn reveals new arrangements of color and light—soft, calm, and deeply immersive.
