Description:
Inspired by the constellation Cassiopeia, this handcrafted kaleidoscope by Japanese artist Ryuichi Matsuda evokes the distinctive “W”-shaped star pattern through its rare 3-point-plus mirror system. Unlike standard kaleidoscopes that display circular symmetry, Cassiopeia creates a spacious square formation that shifts in mesmerizing layers as the oil-filled chamber animates the glass objects within.

Inside, flame-worked white glass objects shimmer alongside cosmic sparkles reminiscent of stardust. The result is a refined and visually striking experience that blends a cool, spatial atmosphere with intricate detail.

This 3-mirror system spreads the imagery across the full field of view, creating immersive symmetry. The unique "3-point-plus" configuration offers a subtle deviation from standard triangle symmetry, yielding a dynamic four-point visual without a full square repeat—making it a rare collector’s piece.
